Reviews
Decommission severs around different data centres
As a Brand Specialist Intern, there are two components to the intern program: your designated intern project and the Amazon Vendor Services (AVS) task list. The intern program is designed for you to have ownership by working on a specific problem project whilst giving you a taste of what it's like to be a working Brand Specialist (ie. vendor management, instock management, etc.).
Engaging customers, trying to identify their problems and connect them with the village of Amazonians that have the expertise to solve those problems. This means calling customers, hosting meetings, preparing experts with customer information for those meetings and collating compelling narratives around a problem or solution from our 1000's of customer references. It also means connecting with the Amazon Partner Network - learning about our partners, their offerings and other opportunities or relationships with our customers.

Pros and cons of working at Amazon AU
Pros
I enjoy the ownership of my intern project the most at Amazon... There's a large component of fulfilment I receive whenever I find pain points and strategise ways to solve them.
Everyone is super friendly and genuinely interested in the work I was doing. Everyone is happy to help and provide valuable feedback, insight, or advice.
The decom team is a very supportive and easy-going environment. We have laughs and talk about anything, but when work needs to be done, we collectively lock in and get the work done.
The work hours are really flexible. There is no formal logging of hours, and working from home is also an option.
The office is located in Town Hall, so it's super convenient... The working spaces are close to huge windows and have lots of plants. There are games rooms with virtual reality headsets, Nintendo Switches, and more.
Cons
Since Amazon is a big global company, it does take some time for requested data to be received, especially when dealing with different international time zones.
AVS is incredibly results-oriented, which has resulted in some churn over recent periods as people have been unable to deliver results in a way that would allow them to pass their probation period.
The interview process was very intense with three rounds, making it difficult but rewarding.
Like most jobs, I'd like higher pay but cannot complain.
Due to the size of the company and global time zones, responses to urgent queries may be delayed.
