Pros

You're working with some of the smartest people in the industry, so you really learn a lot. Your managers are generally actually knowledgeable.

Cons

I think I would have liked a few more perks. There's not a lot of food options around the HQ, so atleast some free snacks would have been great.

Pros

Great work environment Great location Interesting tasks Amazon treated interns fantastically. They had social events for us, set us up with housing and paid well. One thing I really liked was that each intern was given a project to complete. In other Internships I've had I've just been added to a project; here I got my own.

Cons

I worked a lot of overtime. Most of it was because I'm a slow coder, but I felt like I needed to get things done so I stayed late to do it.
