My entire experience at Amazon was absolutely amazing and productive. I got to learn from some of the best people in the industry…I enhanced my problem solving skills as my project involved integration of newest technologies in Kindle devices. This experience also helped me work on my communication skills in a corporate environment. Making progress in a project that will cater to thousands of customers gave me enough sense of motivation. I worked on implementing an end to end functionality in Kindle reader.
