Pros

Competitive pay/benefits. Genuinely great, intelligent people work here. Focus on sustainability and giving back to communities.

Cons

CEO is incredibly conservative, letting his personal beliefs bleed into the business and company policies/programs. Public CEO-led prayer is uncomfortable/not inclusive. Lacking in diversity, particularly at leaderhip levels. CPO has no HR experience, and it clearly shows. C-Suite seems like a "boys club" with the power to terminate employees who challenge decisions or don't align to their beliefs.

QTS was founded on values that include faith, and we welcome employees of all backgrounds. We have a wonderfully diverse team, which is one reason for our incredible success. We believe we have a unique culture where every individual can do excellent work, contribute to something bigger than themselves, serve our communities together, and build incredible relationships along the way. You're correct that we chose "Belonging & Engagement" purposefully to create environments of belonging for all employees to "BE" who they are, and we encourage everyone to stay open, authentic, curious, informed, and becoming their best selves. We work hard to keep our focus on the things that bring us together around our common mission, but we are also continuously working together to listen, learn, and grow, while offering above-and-beyond care to every person on our team. When we survey our employees, we absolutely look at every data point and every comment, and we're proud that we have published an action plan to the entire company with our commitments. Of course we celebrate the things we're doing well, but we also take accountability (another core value) and select areas in which to make a difference. We take ethics VERY seriously and have built the largest data center company in the world on our integrity, character, and the trust we've developed with our employees, customers, and our communities. Thank you for your years of service, and we wish you the very best in your next endeavor.

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.
