Pros

QTS Datacenters are a dog and pony show. Meaning there are a bunch of High Definition TVs, new furniture and equipment. You could potentially have the opportunity to working on new equipment and technologies.

Cons

First thing. QTS Datacenters is NOT a datacenter or Information Technology company. It is a Realty Trust. The datacenters are just a by product of the ownership trying to raise the value of that real estate. Management does NOT understand information technology or best practices. They do not understand how to run a company like this. They do a best effort but fall far short of what is necessary to be successful. There is almost no documentation or process/procedure. After reading this review. If you still decide to working with QTS Datacenters. Get your money up front. Don't think that I am going to work hard and get a good performance review and work my way up. You might get a good review but when it comes to compensation. Not going to happen. It is not part of QTS's business model. The QTS business model say, outsource your equipment to me and I will run/management for less money. So there is NO money for you. You only people I could possibly recommend for QTS are Tier 1 and 2 people trying to gain experience. Tier 3 and 4 folks. As the Italian's say - forget about it. Oh, next carry more than 40 hours of PTO (Paid Time Off). Because if you any reason your employment ends. QTS is only going to pay you 40 hours of PTO. Do not matter is you earned it or accrued it. You will never receive it. Last tip. Read the other reviews. 100 French men cannot all be wrong!

• 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.
