Pros

Co-workers. Good networking resources for finding a real job.

Cons

Horrible work environment with a shell game path to advancement. if you're not wiling to drink the Kool-aid and bow down at the altar of the QTS collective, you will not succeed. The site where I worked is a true facade, with the elaborate glass and artwork up front and the heart of the facility in shambles(poorly maintained and leaking equipment, archaic and cumbersome operating systems, etc.)all due to shoddy site leadership. "Management" is condescending and petulant, stopping at nothing to promote their own self interests while quashing any and all criticism. I only stayed as long as I did due to a sluggish economy in this market. Last but not least, after six years of development, this site has little to show in customer occupied space. Not a good recipe for long-term success.

Pros

The company has continued to find new ways to increase retention. Have a great team and feel supported by management. Just added a new equity program along with already existing stock purchase program.

Cons

Limited amount of work from home days allocated per employee. No car bonus or reimbursement for tolls on commute to work.

We appreciate the review! It's encouraging to hear you're excited about our new equity program, "Together We Grow." When QTS is successful, everyone is successful! QTS recognizes that work flexibility is important and employees are encouraged to utilize all 52 work-from-home days every year. This does not include days when the unexpected occurs, like picking up a sick child from school, running home to take care of an immediate need, falling ill, etc. Thank you for your feedback and contributions to QTS!

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.
