First Tech partners with major tech companies, including Intel and Microsoft.<\/p>\n<p>Qualified employees, their spouses and their children will qualify for First Tech membership for life, meaning they can access it even after they leave the company, Amazon said in its release.<\/p>\n<p>The new perks add to existing benefits such as free Prime memberships and healthcare insurance for eligible employees.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon employs roughly 1.5 million workers total, according to FactSet.
