Pros
Good industry experience and market, some great people come through the company.
Cons
Simple, Honest, Strong.....more like Jumbled, Insincere, Feeble. Yes I used a thesaurus for that but when it comes to culture at CoreSite there is a lot of talk about how important their values are. Speeches are given about being Simple, Honest, and Strong, emails are sent, meetings are had, but when it comes down to it no one in management really wants anyone to follow these edicts. Why? Because it means they then have to make difficult decisions and they would rather not be forced to have to take a stand for what they claim to believe in. Because of this, bad behavior is tolerated, great people leave the company, weak and politically minded "C" players are lauded as amazing and CoreSite continues to perform because of a great CEO and Board who've made great investments and decisions in a booming market. Winter is coming for CoreSite, when the down cycle hits the data center market the true culture that is promoted within the company will rear it's ugly head. It is said that in romance and riches, fortune favors the bold. Well in the case of CoreSite unfortunately we are not bold enough to fight for our own declared values and although I love working here I'm afraid that when winter does come, the riches will be gone and we'll have too many warts for romance.
