Pros
Learn a lot about structured cabling, workflows, troubleshooting fiber, room builds, and scaling.
Cons
Long hours. Can work up to 12 hours per day. You’ll be asked to volunteer to come in on Saturdays to work. Makes managers happy if you are willing to come in on weekends. Depending on what level you come in as, like L4, you will need to be ready to be in charge of people and pick up learning workflow processes quick even if you don’t understand workflows. You will need to read wikis when you’re not working in the datacenter building out rooms and troubleshooting. It’s a fast paced environment and depending on who your teammates are, they can make life miserable for you if you don’t understand processes or can’t find the answers. If you come in as a L3 then you will have longer to learn everything and not expected to always lead groups or be in charge of buildouts.
