Pros

Significant investment and growth, at present. The ability to buy equity is probably what keeps people here. Just about everyone is a VP or above, which is fun. More C-level opportunities than any company I have seen. The business practices are always good for a laugh. Travel points grow very quickly for everyone. The culture really is great, outside of business hours. Whether in office or not it is a remote work company (a few even get to work remote full-time). For all of the negative, the general population really is trying to improve the areas they can control.

Cons

Medical coverage is the most expensive I have ever seen. 401K match is below most industries. No tiered PTO policy (great for early career, terrible for mid-late career). No hiring or org strategy (we have too many people in a lot of areas). No technology to help manage the business (odd for a DC company). Leadership was grown from within (no experience at this scale). New employees are generally compensated fairly (legacy employees not so much, but I'm sure that is not causing morale issues). Most have to commute to the office to work remote, but some don't (I'm sure that doesn't frustrate anyone). People tend to walk out instead of giving two weeks. I wish I couldn't keep going.

Thank you for your detailed review – we value all perspectives and take feedback from our employees seriously. We’re proud of QTS’ growth over the past 20 years, including several recent promotions aligned with planned succession planning into and in support of our expanding C-Suite. It’s an exciting time to be part of QTS’ unique culture and we’re pleased to be able to offer programs such as our Stock Purchase Program (SPP) as part of our Total Rewards package. Each year, the QTS Executive Team conducts a thorough analysis of our total rewards offerings to ensure we remain competitive in the market and account for as many facets of our employee’s well-being as possible. Additionally, our bi-annual performance and compensation planning processes helps us keep legacy and new employees aligned and rewarded appropriately. While we already have strong hiring and organizational strategies in place, we are in the process of a revamp to support continued global expansion. The same goes for our technology— we’re constantly assessing our tools (like SDP, our Service Delivery Platform) to better support both employees and our customers. Remote work is approved thoughtfully, balancing personal needs with our belief that in-office collaboration strengthens culture and teamwork. We’re intentional of the culture we’ve built, and we’re committed to maintaining it. Quarterly meetings (“People Rally”) remain a priority, with our recent logo launch rally being the most recent all-employee meeting this year. Our new Co-CEOs, Tag & David, have each been with QTS more than 15 years and their transition reflects continuity, not change, in our values and culture.

Pros

The company's benefits are generous and it shows they invest in their employees. The culture is very positive, with a very team-oriented goal, but with an ownership mindset.

Cons

Work life balance can be tough. The company growth is so rapid, there's a high volume of work.

Pros

Servant Leadership - Folks will lean in to help you resolve issues. Fluid workflow - There are opportunities to work with other workgroups when you have spare capacity to grow your knowledge/experience into other areas. Rampant Growth - Industry as a whole is expanding very fast. Giving new opportunities for movement Environmental stewards - Leader in sustainable data centers with closed loop cooling. Community driven - Constantly have volunteer opportunities available and actively looking for more Teamwork - From at work, to at home; Your coworkers, managers, and executives actually care about you. They want to know who you are and are genuine in their interactions. CEO's will actively strive to learn your name... so it still has the small company vibe, but it is getting bigger fast.

Cons

Growing pains - Rapid growth and expansion have left some policies in need of polishing/creating. With the rapid growth there is upward mobility that leaves production vacuums behind. Good/Bad - the expansion doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
