Get your foot in the door to IT! - Data Center Technician III Amazon Web Services Employee Review

Pros

It's honestly not bad working as a Data Center Technician, especially if you have no prior experience or have no idea about computers or the IT world. You get trained from day 1 and you can see your knowledge progress as days/weeks/months progress. AWS offers the ability to obtain Amazon certifications and your college, that you can obviously add to your resume. Lastly, you work 4 days a week, 10 hour days, in the morning, afternoon, or night.

Cons

A little labor intensive, and you won't have both Saturday and Sunday off, but you'll have one or the other depending on your shift, but you will have the weekends off if you somehow work Mon-Fri. Also, once you learn all aspects of the job, you could feel as if you're doing the same things all day everyday, but that just depends on your own work ethic and decisions on what equipment to work on.

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
