Pros

QTS is doing better every day. One day, they might actually become what they strive to be. Superficially, the facilities are beautiful. Just don't look beneath the surface. The benefits package greatly improved over time, and the training opportunities became much more robust. Executive leadership is actually pretty involved and easy to talk to. If they take the necessary steps to fix middle management, the company can be great.

Cons

-Everything looks great, but is usually a result of cost cutting. This means there's little consistency between sites and even between rooms in the same facility. -Training is available, but you have to follow their path. If you're not interested in the specific certifications they want you to achieve, you'll eventually face some kind of punishment, but they never go into detail of what that is. Most people leave before they find out. -There is little accountability. This is true within teams and between departments. If you don't have a specific contact, then odds are good you'll be on your own to fix whatever problems arise. If someone doesn't follow through with their obligations, it's up to you to fix. -Standards exist for a reason. Either follow them or don't, but don't pay them lip service and ignore them. -Management needs some serious training. Our team lost everyone over the course of a year and half. At one point it was all taken up the chain only to be ignored. The same manager that caused the problems is still there and still committing the same mistakes. This is a common theme and the reason I left.

Pros

The company has continued to find new ways to increase retention. Have a great team and feel supported by management. Just added a new equity program along with already existing stock purchase program.

Cons

Limited amount of work from home days allocated per employee. No car bonus or reimbursement for tolls on commute to work.

We appreciate the review! It's encouraging to hear you're excited about our new equity program, "Together We Grow." When QTS is successful, everyone is successful! QTS recognizes that work flexibility is important and employees are encouraged to utilize all 52 work-from-home days every year. This does not include days when the unexpected occurs, like picking up a sick child from school, running home to take care of an immediate need, falling ill, etc. Thank you for your feedback and contributions to QTS!

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.
