Asking for an acquaintance who doesn’t have a Blind account
AWS is incredibly notorious for putting people at PIP. Go to Netflix. If you need data points, search “Amazon PIP” in Blind. They won’t think twice before putting you in PIP. You can always come up with an excuse for reneging an offer. Don’t update your LinkedIn for few months. You should be fine.
Yeah don’t burn bridges. You will learn just as much at aws if not more.
I have a friend who went to Apple instead of Amazon for full time and nothing happened. She was smart enough to lie to them and didn't update LinkedIn for 6 months. Always do what is best for you.
Change internship period. Do netflix internship in fall, and aws in summer or reverse. They will be okay with that. Ask them to manage. Or You can always renege saying there is an emergency.
this is the correct answer
It’s just an internship. Go to Netflix
If you know what teams you're going to work with, try answering what seems more exciting to you.
Amazon will hire and fire everyone in the tech industry eventually. They're not going to skip you just because you've reneged an internship. Resistance is futile
I’ve heard nothing but horrible things about amazon lol go to Netflix 🥴
Do it. Although you will learn a lot, Amazon internships add very little value resume-wise. This is speaking from experience.
Why burn bridges? Do the internship at AWS. You will learn a lot at Amazon and they have a career path and training for new grads. It’s also a bigger company with more varied opportunities. Netflix will always be there for you if you want to apply in the future.
Time at Amazon is wasted time.
“Wasted time”... what does this even mean? Netflix is cool but honestly it’s not *that* cool like you’re joining some Google X shit or blue sky backend stuff. Btw come to FB there is a lot of blue sky cool backend stuff here, just sayin
