Pros

Great opportunity to learn and get a great understanding about Datacentres and Property Management. This is a great company for somebody who is self-motivated and doesn't mind seeking out new things to learn and explore.

Cons

PM teams are very overworked and work under very tight deadlines. It's not a surprise to get 5 different Excel spreadsheets asking f or the same information or to see your peers pulling regular 12 hour days. There is very little to no training.

Pros

Not much to brag about... -The best thing is their product. -Also a plus...a lot of free lunches

Cons

-Too many Cheifs, not enough Indians. -No communication or respect between departments and the company does no team building to foster it. -Property mangement and customer service are the lowest on the totem pole and they are made to feel that way. -All responsibilities fall on property management regardless of the task. Everyone gets away with passing the buck. No one takes ownership. -No work life balance. If you have a family forget about working for this company. You are expected to jump when they say jump and be available 24/7. -Operates like a startup. Still hasn't found their "groove". Constantly changing processes and procedures. Poor processes in place that don't collectively benefits all teams. -Provides bonus at the end of the first quarter of the following year. -Biggest problem in SJC office is long term employees ability to walk all over people with no consequences.
