Amazon is one of the most aspired workplaces today. Be it their startup culture, leadership principles or just their products, b-schoolers hope to get an internship with Amazon. In this highly detailed interview, IIM Kozhikode student describes the complex and thorough process that he underwent to get selected for a summer internship and finally get a PPO, with Amazon. Here's how he did it!
The day was 22nd January 2019, and my God I cannot forget this date anytime soon. After pulling an all-nighter I was sleeping in my room that morning and a series of phone calls by my friends woke me up to this, “Guess what? You will be interning for one of the Big-4’s. Yes, you got into Ernst & Young!” What a day it was! I was asked questions regarding finance, risk management, statistics and probability few days back in my interview and finally it was time to apply them in real life. All the efforts that went into that 1-hour interview finally paid off. All thanks to the brilliant and experienced faculties at IFMR-GSB who taught me those concepts.
I hadn’t had an iota of sleep a night before the interview as I was twisting and turning in my bed, anxious about the big day that was imminent and ended up feeling quite exhausted and enervated by the time of my WAT-PI. Also, I was a first year MBA student at IIM Trichy but wanted to switch to another college so this was a tricky situation to be in. However, I was amongst the top 10 students after both the first and second trimesters at IIM Trichy so I tried to sell myself as a diligent student.

In the last week of April 2019, the temperature was well above the forties. Lakes had dried up and so had my aspirations of getting into a decent B-school. That was when I got a call for WAT/PI from IIM Nagpur. I chose Kolkata as my interview location as it was nearer to Ranchi, my hometown.
