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

Remote allowed at the time; Professional Services org had great mid-tier leadership that made work rewarding.

Cons

Higher level leadership absolutely terrible; working at AWS you'll always be on the chopping block due to factors completely out of your control. Not even partially out of your control, but completely out of even your organization's control.
