Pros

Coming from a smaller construction company to Digital really has been life changing! Being able to work with so many individuals globally, and seeing the impact Digital makes in the Data Center/ Real estate industry is exciting. The Culture and Values of a company make you feel secure and their ethics are outstanding. The growth potential is solely up to you and with the guidance of upper management and your surrounding peers makes it a great company to work for.

Cons

I honestly can't think of any

Pros

I absolutely love working for Digital Realty and wake up every morning thankful to be part of a company that is growing. There is a great sense of teamwork and collaboration across the organization, and I appreciate all the support I get from management, as well as the various teams. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities. There really is no typical day for a person in my role; I might be designing a building for a customer on Monday and deploying an electrical fit-out on Tuesday. – Anthony Salinas One thing that I love about the company is the compensation and benefits package. They really value you as an employee and try to do everything to make you happy.

Cons

Work life balance can be a challenge at times. But is that not in every company.
