Pluspunten

Parts of the company are doing interesting work (complete with experienced engineers) High level of ownership from the start. Well-known company.

Minpunten

Contrary to popular belief, the salary + bonus are OK at best but below other companies (Microsoft, Google, Facebook, etc) Other companies pay 20%+ more cash and 50%+ more stock (and this is from hearing from people from my university who went elsewhere, same experience, same school, etc) Awful 401k match (almost nothing) Almost no fringe benefits (you get a transit card and that is it) Below industry standard vesting schedule. Uninteresting work Lots of mediocre engineers have been and are being hired. The bozos are invading. Company lives and dies by how many H1B and T1 visa employees it can find.

Pluspunten

Working as a Data Center Engineering Operations (DCEO) technician at AWS has been an incredibly fulfilling experience. Every day, I know that my work directly supports the infrastructure that powers services used by millions of customers worldwide—from Netflix streaming to NASA processing Mars rover images. What makes this role special is the sense of ownership and responsibility. DCEO technicians are truly the heartbeat of the data center, maintaining the critical power, cooling, and life safety systems that keep AWS running at 99.999% uptime. The mission is clear: be stealthy in action and swift in recovery, solving problems before they impact customers. The technical challenges keep the work engaging. Whether I'm monitoring building management systems, responding to alarms, managing preventative maintenance programs, or coordinating with vendors, there's always something new to learn. The role demands both hands-on technical skills and critical thinking, which makes every shift dynamic and rewarding. AWS invests heavily in training and development. The comprehensive onboarding process, detailed standard operating procedures, and access to subject matter experts across Field Engineering and other support teams ensure you're never alone in solving complex problems. The emphasis on safety is genuine—leadership truly prioritizes that everyone goes home in the same condition they arrived. Working alongside dedicated teams like DCO, Infrastructure Delivery, and Logistics creates a collaborative environment where everyone understands how their role contributes to the bigger picture. The 24/7 nature of the work means building strong relationships with your shift team, and there's real camaraderie in knowing you're all working toward the same critical mission. For anyone who enjoys hands-on technical work, values operational excellence, and wants to be part of maintaining world-class infrastructure at global scale, DCEO at AWS offers a challenging and meaningful career path.

Minpunten

Time constraints, and demands can be overwhelming.

Pluspunten

Echt slimme mensen, veel kansen voor groei, altijd aangemoedigd om innovatief te zijn, groots te denken en iets nieuws te creëren. Competitief salaris en secundaire arbeidsvoorwaarden bij andere grote technologiebedrijven. 100% zelfmotiverende werkomgeving. Geen dresscode en viervoeters zijn welkom.

Minpunten

Je moet gemotiveerd zijn. NIEMAND zal je hand vasthouden en je vertellen dat je het geweldig doet. Als je constante bevestigingen van het management nodig hebt, is dit bedrijf niets voor jou.
