    AI summary of recent reviews

    AWS offers significant advantages including opportunities for learning and growth in cutting-edge technology, competitive remuneration packages with stocks and bonuses, comprehensive training programs, and well-maintained office facilities. The company provides a platform for professional development and technical expertise in cloud computing.

    However, employees should be prepared for certain challenges.

Some employees also note that project availability and career progression opportunities may differ from initial expectations, particularly in certain locations.

    Despite a rigorous interview process, the work environment is toxic, with poor management, lack of growth opportunities, and a culture that leaves employees feeling unsupported and undervalued.
    The good thingsAdvice to Management: Be transparent with prospective employees about the actual scope of work and available opportunities. Misleading new hires about project availability and career growth not only damages trust but also contributes to high turnover and dissatisfaction.
    The challengesEnv is isolating with poor onboarding, micromgmt, no room for open communication. Long-term employees are unwelcoming, making it difficult for new hires to settle in. New hires are misled about project availability, especially in Perth. constant pressure, no meaningful work, low compensation

    Sydney NSW 20003 to 4 years in the role, former employee
    Employee turnover was massive. Both people leaving and people being pushed out the door. Your entire mind is consumed by thoughts of your role 24/7 because of the communication apps they insist you install on your phone day one. Day 1 is a slogan there. Every day is day 1. It's right because every day you feel as unsure about your role and your job security within the company as Day 1. If you ever challenge the status quo or the managers, you will very quickly develop an in-depth understanding of the definition and mechanisms of gaslighting. Unionize? Hah. Don't say the U word on their systems.
    The good thingsPay is good for the expertise required to fulfil the basic task of replacing parts.
    The challengesManagers. They either were ignorant of Australian worker protection laws (except for diversity inclusion), or didn't care. Certainly A top down affect. Very little guidance from managers and senior techs. The type of people who work Data Centres have very low social skills (who then turn manager)
