Pros

So far, I have been met with great enthusiasm and professionality from colleagues - it has made we feel included from day 1. Company is on a growth journey as the rest of the datacenter industry and interesting developments are fast-tracked which is inspiring to be a part of. I feel like I am able to make an impact, even with the vast size Digital Realty has.

Cons

Size and processes could be overwhelming for some. Steep learning curve if you have no history of critical environment/datacenter experience or similar (Medical or off-shore).

While our company has indeed grown on an impressive scale, there may be room for improvement when it comes to different management styles in the workplace. If you have any specific suggestions or concerns you would like to discuss further, we encourage you to reach out to our HR department or your supervisor.

Not a good company

Pros

The company is in an industry that shouldn’t experience any massive fluctuations

Cons

The company culture is non existent. It’s a bean counter cut costs at every corner and place significant workloads on employees as a result. Financial systems are extremely dated and there’s no synchronization even within departments on the accounting and finance side. Bonuses are never fully met and workloads are similar if not more than public accounting.

Thank you for your honest feedback. Since launching our Core Values (Customer Focus, Teamwork, Results-driven) and Company Narrative at the beginning of 2023, Digital Realty has made a concerted effort, with the help of both our Marketing and Employee Communications teams, to not only spread the word of our company culture, but to also embody it in everything we do. In our yearly employee sentiment survey, we found that our colleagues overwhelmingly see and experience our Core Values daily, and we are on a mission to continue with those leading principles wherever and however we do business. Additionally, we have been listening to employee sentiment around integrating more of our systems and have made it a corporate goal to continue to collaborate, connect and simplify our systems to provide a better experience to our customers and colleagues globally. We will continue to listen to employee feedback and taking the necessary steps to improve in areas where we know we can provide a better, more optimal experience and create a larger rate of employee retention and growth.
