Amazonian here, opinions are my own, blah blah. He did the right thing. While I like WFH, I do believe that interns and juniors should be at the office at least 3 days a week. Being there helps them understand how company interactions work, see senior people work and how they handle themselves, if part of his team is in the office they can see if he is struggling and help him more than just asking on slack. Also, Amazon onboarding is quite overwhelming and I believe that if you see other people using or speaking about the tooling you are learning, it gives you some relief that in time he will too get it. Apart from that having Amazon in the resume opens the door to easier hiring in other FAANG like places. It's always day 1.
