Overview
Valuable insight into what a software engineering career involves and how we would have to apply the knowledge gained at university in real life. I found out what is it like working with a mentor and how peer to peer programming looks like. I loved the coding exercises and I feel prepared and to apply for opportunities at Amazon.
Skills
I gained confidence, team work, solving a problems together with other people - not on my own, communication, courage to engage in the conversation
Business Insight
Exciting. I am more intrigued and motivated to apply now. I really enjoyed the event and the activities.
Culture
Company culture seems inclusive, smart, diverse and centred around strong leadership values that everyone seems to share.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed coming into direct contact with Amazon employees and seeing how the software engineering workflow roughly looks like and what it involves. I am very excited to see that everyone is valued and that ownership is encouraged in terms of projects and attitude. I appreciate that.
Yes
