I am a Master's student and have received summer internship offers from Amazon, Seattle (HQ), and Salesforce, Bellevue (Non HQ). Since I am just starting my career, I am very confused about what is a better choice for me.
- Team at Salesforce, although a very new team, "seems" interesting but Amazon is not ready to tell me the team I'll be paired with - it can be anything.
- Internship pay is approximately the same but from what I hear base full-time pay at Salesforce is much higher - stocks at Amazon will be much much higher but they have a weird pay-out period
Being a big 4, Amazon has always been a dream, but I have read quite bad reviews online about it - how they over-work their employees and that you might be paired up with a random team. I am not shy of (over) working if I like the work but I am also not sure about the quality of work at Salesforce and was reading online how it is a "Sales" company and not a tech company like Amazon.
What do you guys think is a better option for a person at such an early age in his career?

Yes you will grind, but you learn so much in such a short time span.
I’d pick Amazon any time of the year.
But in the end you get what you work for out of an internship. Effort, grind, networking etc.
