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.

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.
