A Great Place to Grow a Career!

Anonymous employee

Pros

I have worked at Digital Realty for coming up on five years now and it has been a great experience. The company has evolved and expanded a lot since I came on board, and there have certainly been growing pains, but overall I would say I have learned a ton and had the opportunity to contribute to some important initiatives and programs. There are many talented, supportive and fun people throughout the organization. Demand for data centers is only going up as mega trends including the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, the Cloud and Big Data take hold. Digital Realty is well positioned to support these developments around the world. In short: This company has legs!

Cons

The pace at Digital Realty is breakneck at times and individuals who need a lot of handholding and guidance struggle.

Pros

Excellent pay, flexible hours, growing industry

Cons

Political infighting, management misalignment, "One size fits all" flawed service strategy, management by intimidation, Big Egos in IT, High employee turnover, low engagement, Optics for the shareholders. This company just does not get that they are in the SERVICE business. For employees to serve the customer, the company must treat employees to the same degree.

Pros

Good pay and opportunity for advancement. Stable job and supportive environment.

Cons

Being such a big company makes it easy to get stuck into one specific, repetitive role and could halt advancement if you don't take ownership and move forward to higher level responsibilities.
