PhonePe vs Amazon — 6 Month Internship + Performance-Based FTE

Recently, I got offers from PhonePe and Amazon, both for a 6-month internship with performance-based FTE conversion.

I’m a bit confused about which one to choose and would appreciate some opinions from people who have worked at either company or know about these roles.I need that has more probability of fte conversion

For people who have experience with these companies:

  1. How is the internship experience at PhonePe vs Amazon?

  2. How difficult is the FTE conversion?

  3. How different are the work culture and WLB?

  4. Which role provides better learning and growth opportunities for an SDE?

  5. How are the teams/projects and tech stack generally?

  6. Does the FTE compensation structure at Amazon have any important details I should consider, especially regarding sign-on bonuses and RSUs?

Would really appreciate insights from current/former employees and previous interns. Thanks!
