Pros

Amazon seems to be a company which really welcomes Intern. It was a nice experience right from the interview to the last day at office. The accommodation and travel facilities provided were really good as well. Got a challenging work. Was a very good learning experience.

Cons

Even though there were frequent one on ones some of the points discussed in the last one on ones were not discussed previously. However this could not be an issue with the company in general.

Pros

Time flexibility, new technologies being used all around, enthusiastic people, responsibilities ,

Cons

Sometimes, you don't get what you expect for all the hard work you have put in. Hiring process is haywire. No benefits apart from salary. Policies try to make you a robot instead of a good developer.

Pros

- Being my first (and hopefully, not my last) time in a "big company", I realized what the fuss was all about. The people are incredibly smart, and that drives you to do better. - Great work environment... small teams, more productivity. Scrums are a great way of ensuring that no one in the team gets stuck in an issue. - Flexible hours (you'll mostly work longer than 8 hours a day though)

Cons

- Sometimes, the work gets a bit too stressful - Developer machines are pathetic (especially the Windows ones). This issue is slowly being addressed, and hopefully will not be an issue for too long. - No pay for working overtime.
