Pros

A global giant in the neutral colo space and the recent launch of Cloud Exchange has added to that aura! Thanks to the stock performance, total cash comp is very competitive. Mostly competent people and a generally genial atmosphere. Also, very much a "play hard" culture.

Cons

Dysfunction at the top is increasing by the day - makes any cross-functional collaboration extremely difficult. Leadership traits vary from paranoid control freaks to "tone deaf" leaders totally in awe with their own smartness that they can't stop talking to listen! It's a good company if you are a mechanical or electrical engineer. Stay away from Marketing and Technology development!

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.
