What data centers are the best to work for, and how’s life as a CFE/CFT?
Hi guys. I’m looking to apply for a Critical Facilities Technician / Engineer job, and wanted to pick your brains about what the reality of the job is like, as I’ve never worked in a data center.
Right now, I’m looking at Google, Meta, Vantage, and Aligned. I'm not limited to those companies, I just don’t know anything about the others (very open to suggestions).
I'd love to get your honest take on a few things:
-What data center do you work for and how’s the work life balance?
-How’s the pay and benefits?
-What’s the day-to-day look like for a CFE/CFT?
-Advancement/Training: Is there a clear path for internal promotions and leveling up technically? How’s the training process (getting qualified)?
Would love to hear what you guys have to say about your jobs/companies and I really appreciate the responses!
