This year, Amazon will have more than 15,000 interns around the world, the highest number since it was founded. According to the company, most of them will work in some kind of hybrid work format, which shows that at least in some way it will continue to allow its employees to carry out part of their work remotely, while others, such as Tesla, They bet on the elimination of teleworking completely.
In this scholarship model, those selected move to the city where they are going to do their scholarship, if they do not live there, so that they are close to the office assigned to them when they have to go there. The interns themselves will be the ones who, in agreement with their manager and the work team they are part of, schedule which days they will work in the office and which days of the week they will work from home.
There is no established and fixed duration for each fellowship position. It depends rather on the type of position and work, as well as the team in which each one is integrated. However, most interns stay in their position between 12 and 16 weeks, with a schedule that closely resembles that of a normal job. The company typically recruits interns for approximately 100 job types, selecting candidates from more than 1,000 study centers around the world.
The company is already looking for potential interns for all its business areas, including engineering, management, and finance. Of course, they do not reveal which graduates or students are the most likely to be chosen for each position. Nor do they communicate how many interns, or employees they hire, they have in each region in which they have a presence. But those who manage to enter the scholarship program are among the highest monthly earners in the entire United States: $8,000 a month on average. According to a study by Glassdoor, it is the fifth highest median salary for an intern in the United States.
To apply for an internship position at Amazon there is no deadline, as is the case with the rest of the positions offered by the company. Of course, most vacancies are usually announced at the end of summer. In any case, and since they can be applied for at any time, students who are interested in participating in the Amazon scholarship program can apply on the company’s Student Opportunities website.
