Pros

Disclaimer: I work in corporate Operations, not in our datacenters (IBXs). There seem to be significant differences in expectations and culture between the two. * Pay is fair * Benefits are incredibly good * Company culture (in corporate) is really healthy, though it depends on your manager. Up to the executive level, there's an open door policy, and most of the executives are friendly and willing to talk * HR practices are steadily improving * Hybrid work is encouraged, as of spring 2023. No requirements to work in-office more than 1-2 days a week. * Employee resource groups are very active and employees are encouraged to participate * Plenty of recognition for good work * Excellent internal mobility opportunities

Cons

* Most of the corporate offices are open floorplans, which can make it hard to focus in office. * HR practices for people with disabilities aren't great, though they're very actively working on making things more accessible and inclusive across the company. * Pay is lower than competitors, especially in Operations * Operations and Corporate are quite siloed and I've heard from a lot of the datacenter employees that they feel ignored/undervalued by Corporate

Company is strong financially. No chance of layoff. Many opportunities to work overtime if you want extra hours.

Very busy, they need to hire more people.

Pros

Hybrid which is nice, for what the job entails pay is ok I suppose at 60k. Every Wednesday there's food for employees.

Cons

Earlier in the year the frisco office was closed down, so many employees including myself who add living arrangements now have to travel 3 days a week to the downtown office. Which is 45 minutes + with traffic. On top of that the shift times suck as someone who appreciates work life balance. 7 am to 7 pm. I would also say that there are many organizational changes and career growth seems limited.
