Amazon Women of the World Spring Technology Insight Event Review

The day offered insight into the roles of Sofware Engineers at Amazon and the projects, goals and values of the company. There was a small hackathon where we were able to try programming questions similar to those asked in a techincal interview for software engineering. We were informed of the timeline of the application process and given advice on how to make a successful application.

I became more informed on the core values that companies look for in their employees and effective ways in which to demonstrate these traits.

It was very enlightening and shed light on the work life at the company and the technical requirements of the roles. It was interesting to learn about the motivations of the company and their thought process when approaching their products.

The culture felt very inviting and provides an ideal environment for innovation and personal growth where employees can contribute new ideas.

I enjoyed the insight as it was informative and involved employees with relevant experience in the field as well as the hackathon, which incorporated a practical element.

Yes

For Software Engineering roles, practice relevant programming questions for technical interviews and understanding the key leadership principles that Amazon looks for such as customer prioritisation and taking action.
