Great for early career, but high performers are not valued enough

Data center technician

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of growth and opportunity. Great benefits. Able to transfer sites easily. Some of the best people I have ever worked with. Cutting edge technology. Great place to start your career.

Cons

Pay is on the lower end in the industry. Previous experience is not valued or considered at all - I am constantly told “your experience prior to Google does not matter” when applying for internal roles, despite working in the industry for a decade. Moving up the ladder can be slow even if you are a high performer - you need to show that you have been performing above your level for months before being able to promote.
