A Waste of 2 Years - Datacenter Technician Amazon Web Services Employee Review

Pros

Good benefits, adequate pay, resume booster.

Cons

Managers who care about people are demoted while managers who are uncaring, rude, and set unreasonable expectations are promoted. There's no company culture except producing results. Everything is automated so you don't learn how the technology works. I felt like a robot doing the same thing day in and day out. Also, they hire disproportionately young men, and women were not being promoted to management. In theory, AWS is pro-diversity, however in practice, individuals are blatantly homophobic.

Pros

Great team when you have a manager and full team that works well and collaborates well. Stock is great. And you know when youre doing well, the pay increase is roughly the same as everyone else.

Cons

Low perks compared to other FAANG companies and most teams have high turn over

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
