Relaxed Work environment
Network Technician (Current Employee) - Ashburn, VA - July 29, 2019
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedAmazing company to grow as an IT professional. Started here with no IT background and in less than a year I learnt so much about Networking and Data centers from the countless amazing colleagues who will stop at nothing to teach you as much you want to learn

Great place to work for advancement
Amazon Hub Locker Associate (Former Employee) - Ashburn, VA - May 15, 2021
When working at Amazon, you have the opportunity to climb the company ladder pretty simply. I worked there for almost a year which would have allowed me advancement opportunities. Everyone I worked with was respectful and wanted me to succeed.
Pros
Advancement, Special Promotions
Cons
Can be boring at times

Horrible management
Shopper Team Member (Former Employee) - Ashburn, VA - December 20, 2020
I worked there for almost a year and got fired because my manager changed so much rules and shifts pick that many people got fired for no reason. Horrible benefits, horrible management, horrible HR management. And people that work there longer will treat you like you are just a kid that have no meaning,people also try the most to make you lose your job, so they can get the promotions and control the manager. If you are looking for a job that'll give a future, DONT WORK FOR AMAZON.
Pros
Payment
Cons
Benefits, managment

Many employee opportunities
Fulfillment Associate (Former Employee) - Ashburn, VA - April 12, 2020
Many opportunities for employees to advance or move. Good benefits and pay for job roles. Arbitrary lengths of time between promotions discourages advancement from lower levels. Many entry level FC jobs (receive, stow, pick, pack) are dull.
Pros
Excellent compensation
Cons
Arbitrary time between promotions, Some FA1 positions dull

Not a good Place to work
Infrastructure Delivery Install SME (Former Employee) - Ashburn, VA - October 3, 2019
Not a good place to work. A flawed culture that puts the bottom line over the mental well being of it's employees. Raises are non existent and the management utilizes subterfuge to ensure the bottom line stays low.
Cons
Short breaks, Healthcare, Pay structure

Generic experience one would have here
Network Technician/ Data center Technician (Former Employee) - Ashburn, VA - May 28, 2019
At the beginning of each shift, we started with a turnover meeting. Depending on how your zone did these and who was turning over to you determined its either high value or redundancy of the meeting. The culture is great once you're in. My troubleshooting skills have become top notch thanks to great field leads and our team's chemistry. Each team and zone lead runs things differently and independent to the team yet cohesive to the zone. They have some amazing managers; I was lucky to be with some of them and have them push me thoroughly. Where some other leads are incredibly non-motivated it was confusing why they were managers at all, or it was a lead role they were pushed to.
Pros
Great to take troubleshooting skills to an advanced level
Cons
not many techs stay in amazon over 4 years, it's known and is used as an individual benchmark

Don’t get hurt
Amazon Fulfillment Associate (Former Employee) - Ashburn, VA - May 9, 2019
If you ever get hurt at amazon you can guarantee them giving you the run around. By the time you talk to anyone from this country you are given the run around. Just go see your doctor because you will be offered Tylenol. You are almost guaranteed to not get your break on most days.
Pros
Great pay and you can get free food sometimes.
Cons
No breaks

AWS Data Center Security Manager
Data Center Security Manager (Current Employee) - Ashburn, VA - April 3, 2019
Amazon Web Services is a fast pace and hard working environment. Typical work days are 8 hours minimum up to 16 hours depending on the day. Most of their sites are not centrally located so there's always a commute. Overall compensation package is good (salary, bonus, stocks) but salary /hr pay by itself is not.
Pros
overall compensation package
Cons
not centrally located, lack of advancement. hourly / salary rates

PROJECT LEAD/ NETWORK SCALING DEPLOYMENT TEAM (Former Employee) - ASHBURN, VA, US - January 9, 2019
I have worked with the company before and the experience was good but it was unfortunate that I was given enough time to explore my skills before the contract period ended.

Loved it!
Data Center Technician (Former Employee) - Ashburn, VA - February 8, 2017
Amazing place to work in my opinion. Due to the volatile nature of the Industry, one slip can cost your career. I am very blessed to have had the experience, and I do see myself pursuing further opportunities with Amazon later in life. First, I must broaden and expand my experience
