Pros

I am extremely grateful for working at Digital Realty. The company has done an excellent job of cultivating a positive environment that encourages employees to utilize their unique skill sets. Employees in return, go above and beyond in supporting their data center customers on a day-today basis. In addition, management encourages and supports the data centers to give back to the employees through monthly lunches for the engineers with customers and without customers along with quarterly offsite team building events (during the workday)! Furthermore, the acquisitions of Telex accelerated the transformation of the company away from a real estate focused company - looking forward to additional strategic acquisitions in the near future.

Cons

Limited upward mobility for data center engineers and entry-level management positions.
