This is not the employer you are looking for. - Anonymous employee Digital Realty Employee Review

This company has been very top heavy for the better part of a decade and following a recent acquisition and restructuring does not seem to have learned from their mistakes. The senior leadership team is wholly concerned with improving the bottom line and less so with sufficiently providing the services sold to clients. The facility staff are overworked and stretched thin to provide subsistent coverage and there is absolutely no work/life balance for the employees actually keeping the facilities running. Routinely, employees will be required to work overtime or adjust schedules to fill gaps due to a lack of coverage. As someone that has worked with Digital for multiple years, I have seen some of the best and brightest passed over for the scant promotions the company has made available which have been offered to the candidate that kisses the most posteriors. As a result, the wisest employees quit and move onto better opportunities and the rest are left to cover the gap in scheduling. My experience at Digital Realty was that I worked hard, did above and beyond my job requirements, was loyal, tolerated an obscene amount of corporate abuse of employees and was let go when my position was redundant following the acquisition "due to the numbers." Results and hard work are not more important than dollars and cents at Digital Realty.
