Great Managers, Industry Standard
Great Managers, Industry Standard
Like all jobs, it truly comes down to a site-based experience. While I have loved my time at AWS, it is because I have had two wonderful managers and a team that is on the same wavelength as me. Very flexible as a company, though, and willing to get you moved if you do not like it.
The level of work that you are expected to put out is much higher than at other companies, so if you were to move laterally to them, you would likely be placed at a higher position within that company. AWS is the gold standard in this industry.
I have heard horror stories of other sites run by managers who should not be in those positions.
Pay is good for the area, but could be better. Two companies are known to pay more and offer more benefits (rhymes with beta, and Boogle).

Engineering and Operations Technician (EOT)
Many different interviews completed via phone. Final interview round took about all morning and was completed online/virtually. The whole process was arduous and time-consuming. They give you enough info to prepare well.

I applied through other source. They will screen based on the phone call and then loop interview. The phone interview lasts for 1 hour or more but mostly technical questions. Once you clear it, you will go to the loop interview.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3+ months. 3 loops, team fit and culture fit, then technical screening, and finally the 3 person panel with technical for mechanical and electrical followed by culture fit. Overall it was great.
