Do interns at companies like Amazon, Google or Facebook receive above average full time offers? Is an intern's bargaining position weak when it comes to negotiating the offer?

The question assumes that an intern got a full time offer. Do companies exploit the fact the intern probably didn't apply for full time positions yet at other companies?
Answer:

A conversion offer will typically be higher than a non-conversion offer for a new graduate. A full-time offer is recognition of your contribution to the company over the course of your internship and a belief that employing you will continue to benefit the company in the future. It's no secret that interview performance is often a poor proxy metric for on-the-job performance in engineering/product positions; working with someone for three plus months not only allows the hiring manager and the team to better evaluate one's capabilities in a real-world context, but develop a personal bond that will make them likely to give a higher initial offer and be amenable to further negotiation. Additionally, there is a premium attached to depriving other companies of high-potential candidates. With the current war for talent, a common scenario is for interns to organise an expedited interview process at competitors several months in advance so they can obtain several offers in quick succession and play them against each other to obtain the highest possible compensation at a desired company. tl;dr Provided you make your plans well in advance, perform well at your internship, and properly value yourself in the market, you should have no concerns about being "exploited" in any way, shape, or form.
