Overview
Talks given by multiple roles throughout the companies for all sectors (including outside of work and about the company culture). Workshops and coding challenges run in small groups by an experienced mentor.
Skills
I have gained knowledge and understanding on the interview process and a rough outline of the working culture, structure and expectations at the company.
Business Insight
I personally had no change in views about potential roles in business, but it was interesting to learn about the flexibility between roles and sectors and also the ease of changing between them at amazon.
Culture
Hard to tell since it was not in person and was only given as a description. All talkers were friendly and the company seemed inclusive and progressive.
Your Impressions
The insight was fairly enjoyable, some of the tasks in workshops were a little tedious and lacking in challenge but I recognise that they must be accommodating to everyone. Cloud9 was quite annoying to use in terms of sharing and collaborating.
Yes
It is a much larger than I thought in terms of attendence. I really enjoyed the workshops and the QnA since it allowed us to directly ask questions and speak. Ask as man questions as possible.
