Today I received an email from the recruiter I have been talking to. She said that I have been placed on the Kindle team. I am really excited about this for several reasons. First, this was my top choice. I was asked to pick three divisions that I would like to work on. I chose AWS (Amazon Web Service) and Digital as my top two, being equal. I chose Digital (which includes the Kindle) because of the hardware software interaction it provides. This interests me but I do not know yet if I will have any hardware interaction at all. Even if I don't work with hardware I still think it is one of the "cooler" groups to work with especially as it's
new technology and rapidly changing. Another reason I'm excited is because I know another intern working on the Kindle team. We might but probably won't be working in the same group; it's still cool to know someone who will be working on a similar team. Lastly, I'm relieved to know that I have officially been assigned to a team; one that I'm really exited to be working with!
I'm really excited to finish this semester and begin the summer working as an intern at Amazon in Seattle (I've actually been counting down the days). The email today reminds me how much fun it will be to work this summer and I'm especially happy to be working on the Kindle team. If you still don't know what a Kindle is, check it out here:
Hey, I'm on the Kindle team this summer as well. I talked to my Graebel person today, and they got me an account with them. When I log in, it tells me that my costs go to the Whispernet/field testing cost center. If you've talked to Graebel already, you should check out your account, and see if they have a cost center. It might give you a hint on what you'll be doing.
ReplyDeleteHey, I have received an internship with amazon for this summer but they didn't tell me which team will I be working with. They said they gonna tell me later on. When did you know the team that you are going to be working with ??
ReplyDeleteYou can think of Amazon's internship application process as "rolling admissions". By that I mean, they they interview and offer throughout the year. So you will most likely hear back soon. I heard back 3 weeks after accepting my offer.
