Overview
We did workshops, focusing on technical skills. We also listened to a number of panels on the Amazonian culture, advice on mentorship, internships and working at Amazon.
Skills
Yes! I learnt the technical skills used at Amazon and what they look for when interviewing and hiring.
Business Insight
Heard from a wide variety of people - programmers, recruiters, etc. Not all the roles were technical, although there is a focus on System Engineers.
Culture
Seemed to have a strong, clearly defined culture with a great focus on different focus groups (e.g BAME, LGBT+) to celebrate diversity.
Your Impressions
Very! I enjoyed getting feedback and talking to my workshop leader to go through problems. I also enjoyed listening to the panels, particularly the ones where technical interviews were explained and what values they were looking for.
Yes
Be honest!
