Pros

It's honestly not bad working as a Data Center Technician, especially if you have no prior experience or have no idea about computers or the IT world. You get trained from day 1 and you can see your knowledge progress as days/weeks/months progress. AWS offers the ability to obtain Amazon certifications and your college, that you can obviously add to your resume. Lastly, you work 4 days a week, 10 hour days, in the morning, afternoon, or night.

Cons

A little labor intensive, and you won't have both Saturday and Sunday off, but you'll have one or the other depending on your shift, but you will have the weekends off if you somehow work Mon-Fri. Also, once you learn all aspects of the job, you could feel as if you're doing the same things all day everyday, but that just depends on your own work ethic and decisions on what equipment to work on.

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
