    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • It began with an Amazon Engineer panel, where she explained what working at amazon is like and what her responsibilities are. Later on the hackathon was introduced and we worked on it for 1 hour and 45 min. Lastly there were two more panels one with many engineers from amazon talking about their experience and giving valuable advice to us and one of the hiring managers spoke about the hiring process and gave us tips.
