Internship Offer Advice

Question

For context I'm a junior studying CS and this will be my first actual internship other than externships. I plan on going into program management in the future so Amazon would be great experience. However, the other two internships are more of tech roles and will give me leverage in learning new technologies. The other two are also more likely to offer return offers than Amazon. I'm conflicted on what I should do please help!! They all pay around the same range and offer relocation/sign-on bonuses.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!

Amazon - Program Manager Intern in Seattle

Accenture - Technology Summer Analyst in Houston

Capital Group - Information Technology Intern in Irvine, CA

If you're certain you want to go into Program Management after graduation, then I'd recommend Amazon for sure. The increased exposure to tech through the other roles might give you leg up and also could give you better experience to figure out if maybe you like a tech-heavy role instead, but if you're set on Program Management then there's nothing like getting in early.

You can also get a return offer to Amazon too, which would be an incredible jump start to your career.

Amazon has a bad rap but w.r.t gaining valuable experience they are the best. I wouldn’t worry about treating employees bad. My husband works there and love the company culture and the people. It’s individual team and people related. Every comp any has some bad apples when it comes to bad teams and people. If I were you, I would pick Amazon. Also this is just an internship so how bad will it be? Worst case you can reject the offer if it’s extended but still gain valuable big company experience.

Between these three, I'd say Amazon too, but I think factoring in the return offer possibility is a good point. I'm not sure how Accenture or Capital Group are with their return offers, but if either of those have a higher chance of giving out return offers I'd pick one of them.
