Pros

Pays well for an undergraduate intern. 6k per month plus housing. I was in a hotel. Lots of people I knew loved it. Totally depends on your team. Looks good on a resume.

Cons

again this all depends on your team. My experience was long hours with less than clear goals. I was given an absurdly difficult assignment. This was later cut down but only after I wasted 3 weeks trying to solve it. (Significant portion of 12 week internship). The assignment was not possible with the code base I was working with. I got off the project only after I showed my manager that it would require a total refactoring (think 5 people working for 6 months) to get it working. The assignment I was given to replace the previous one was vague. It was boring. I did it but I hated it.

Pros

Full of smart people - great support Projects are cutting edge You get training in all of the internal development software

Cons

Not too many cons. Amazon is very focused on the customer and not wasting money so employees do not see the same benefits as some other tech companies, but it is still a very pleasant place to work.
