Pros

Some good people that try really hard but generally get stymied by lackluster middle-management and completely disconnected upper management.

Cons

QTS is really a second/third tier player in both the data center and managed hosting/cloud markets. Their data centers are decent but usually in smaller tier 2 cities. The managed services and cloud offers are a disaster. There is virtually no innovation at the product level. Compliance is a disaster. Pay is sub-par compared to the industry Benefits are almost laughable. Terrible health insurance. Employee stock program with no employee discount!!! What is the point? Etrade anyone? The Carpathia acquisition made everything worse. Carpathia employees had chips on their shoulders because they couldn't cash-in on getting purchased.

Pros

• Co-workers are genuinely kind, respectful and supportive - HR does an amazing job of screening for skills and talent as well as making sure there's a connection to the culture that has been established at QTS over the last two decades. • A true focus on giving back and supporting groups in our communities. • Trust in leadership + transparency in communications

Cons

• Like any company at the forefront of the digital revolution, there is constant change in the industry - change that can cause frequent shifts in plans + processes + needs

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.
