Pros

The coffee was good. Many things "look good", just don't dig too deep.

Cons

The company is very disorganized. Only those who are nice and docile get noticed. Safety and even company policies are suggestions rather than the rule. During my one year tenure at this company, no less than six times was the law clearly broken, for example, forbidding employees to talk about pay, bribing or threatening employees with pay deductions or incentives to keep things secret, operating powered industrial trucks without training, and using employee ignorance to try and get away with not paying out benefits upon exiting the company. This company's practice is to make everything "look good". Proper functionality, whether it be from building equipment like AC units, computer programs, or day-to-day operations, are all secondary. Telling their customers what they want to hear, regardless if it is true, is what this company does as rule. Communication, a primary result of the company's disorganization, is abysmal. The right hand never knows what the left is doing. Rework on projects is commonplace and as a result many sites are hemorrhaging money due to inefficiency. The only reason QTS's stock is doing well is because the data center market has yet to saturate. Once the market saturates and QTS has to compete, it will suffer greatly if not go under.

Pros

The company's benefits are generous and it shows they invest in their employees. The culture is very positive, with a very team-oriented goal, but with an ownership mindset.

Cons

Work life balance can be tough. The company growth is so rapid, there's a high volume of work.

Pros

Servant Leadership - Folks will lean in to help you resolve issues. Fluid workflow - There are opportunities to work with other workgroups when you have spare capacity to grow your knowledge/experience into other areas. Rampant Growth - Industry as a whole is expanding very fast. Giving new opportunities for movement Environmental stewards - Leader in sustainable data centers with closed loop cooling. Community driven - Constantly have volunteer opportunities available and actively looking for more Teamwork - From at work, to at home; Your coworkers, managers, and executives actually care about you. They want to know who you are and are genuine in their interactions. CEO's will actively strive to learn your name... so it still has the small company vibe, but it is getting bigger fast.

Cons

Growing pains - Rapid growth and expansion have left some policies in need of polishing/creating. With the rapid growth there is upward mobility that leaves production vacuums behind. Good/Bad - the expansion doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
