Nepotism, Lobbies, Discrimination - Datacenter Technician Amazon Web Services Employee Review

Pros

sign-in and relocation bonus (if applicable), stock rewards

Cons

Dublin cluster is a mess, especially if you are working as a DCO! Incompetent managers, unrealistic targets and nepotism is the norm. As a tech, the only way to get promoted to the next job level (or even raise your annual salary at your current level) is to become your manger's bootlicker. Data Center management is the main issue! Externally hired managers lack the DC industry experience , while the "promoted-to-mgmt-techs" are lacking the leadership qualities.

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
