Pros

Amazon was truly amazing and my favorite internship thus far. I have previously interned at Microsoft & Google but Amazon challenge me like no other. I had to learn how to take ownership, be resourceful, drive my feature/project, and collaborate with brilliant team members. The project I worked on had great impact. My team was extremely supportive, kind, and helped me grow technically, personally, and academically. Thank you.

Cons

Fast paced Independent environment. If you require a lot of hand holding, you won't survive at Amazon :(

Pros

Medical/ dental/ vision insurance, mental assistance, 401k, lawyer assistance, Career choice, VTO, PTO, vacation time

Cons

Most AMs have avoritism among employees. We get mandatory extra time (now is calling "voluntary" but you have to go when it is schedule) at the end of the year, what makes difficult for some of us when we have kids and they're really rigid about it.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
