Pros

This company has an incredibly solid foundation that they are using to build a rapidly expanding business. They understand the need to differentiate themselves from the "space and power" guys in the market, and they have (recently) chosen to do this through their front line employees. The "Powered by People" campaign is all about having the right people in a job that fits their skills, and making sure everyone understands that they are part of the customer experience. This is truly a company where you are the culture where you work. If you want to have a crappy day, you make it a crappy day. If you want it to be a great working environment, it is.

Cons

The company is expanding so fast that they are outgrowing many of the original systems that were put in place to run the business. So stuff changes a lot. If you are the kind of person who needs things to stay the same, this is probably not the place for you. Some of the sites were acquired, and had a culture that did not entirely fit with the QTS way. Any time the culture of a company changes, there is going to be some fallout. Management figured out who could and who could not make it in the "Powered by People" environment, and it appears there has been some purging of those who could not cut it. I can certainly see why this is frustrating and disappointing for some, but ultimately it makes the company stronger, and a better place to work for those who get it.

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.

Servant Leadership - Folks will lean in to help you resolve issues.

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.
