PayPal Finance Intern vs. Amazon Business Unit Finance Intern

Pay and benefits are comparable, roles are similar. (SUMMER 2020)

Amazon (Seattle HQ) – finance intern on tech team

PayPal (San Jose) – TPX (technology platform and experience) finance intern

Open to hearing any and all opinions, comments, thoughts, questions!

 

imo very comparable roles. might come down to location preference. Amazon would seem to give you slightly better name recognition as well as exit-oops. however, they’re also known to be quite stingy on bonuses. I don’t personally know a lot about PayPal.

 

Heard Amazon culture is terrible. If you are looking to do tech even FT, then PayPal has a notable enough name to open doors anywhere in tech. If you're doing IB, then maybe go with Amazon.
