Pros

There is part freedom and autonomy of work, discrete shifts organization, and a lot of flexibility regarding holidays/vacations, and permits. You have good comfortable offices inside the delivery station where you are based

Cons

The job is sold to you with great potential and great room for development, but it is only repetitive instead and after 4 years I can't tell how the department is still standing. You are located in your own country/city but commanded by leadership in another one. They have nothing to do with the site leaders where you are based and you feel a considerable distance with all your colleagues at headquarters. There is sometimes embarrassment with other colleagues because there is a lack of collaboration. The leadership makes your work look efficient but it's just monotonous, repetitive, and not helpful at all with nobody else. The main target is making customers happy for something that it's not decided by you. You have no weapons to solve the problems you work for, most of the time the customer escalation issues that you manage will be solved by themselves or perhaps by the logistic process itself. Talking about career, you have less than 10% of success because you are not part of the department where you are based, and if there is an open job position, you surely have dozens of people before you. Last, but not least, the job contract is absolutely ridiculous. I know it didn't depend on the company, but on national job contracts laws, but the company certainly took advantage of this situation to give you a poor contract. Smart working is NEVER allowed, on the contrary, leadership always did something to let you come back working on-site even during the pandemic, or even going against the law that allowed it for some categories of workers. My advice is: if you have a chance to do this job, do your best of course, but try to change departments as soon as there is a job position opened anywhere else!!

Pros

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.

Cons

Time constraints, and demands can be overwhelming.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
