Digital Realty reviews

Friendly co-workers, positive management, free food and drinks

Lot of individual responsibility to move the company forward and drive projects. The engineering organization is relatively flat, with limited middle managers, and lots of inter-departmental interaction. Working with data centers exposes you to a wide variety of technologies and the people who are engaged with them. Sales and Engineering also works closely together, allowing for good customer facing experience and exposure to the revenue generating side of the house. Company culture is good, but can be cliquey between departments. Management does well with hosting events that bring groups together and certainly helps break and ice and show that the hard work being done is appreciated. Also, most sites and offices have stocked snack rooms, which is a nice perk. Communication from the top has been improving. The whole company is tied into the financials and future road map through quarterly review calls. Overall there is a solid effort to keep everyone in the loop and engaged.
