Thank you for the feedback. I can assure you as someone who joined QTS as part of an acquisition, I have worked my way through the ranks at QTS based solely on my hard work, dedication and willingness to learn new things. Also, when hiring we choose the best candidate and have multiple people in the organization interview candidates as well to ensure a fair and thorough process. I encourage you to talk to your manager about what opportunities might be available to you based on your capabilities and desire to grow. Good luck! Shelagh Montgomery, EVP Strategic Client Management

QTS is powered by people!

Pros

People, people, people! I have never had the pleasure to work with such a great group of people. It really does start at the top. From the CEO down to the interns on site nearly everyone is genuinely happy to assist other QTSers. The culture is the best part of the company and QTSers live the core values of the company.

Cons

As with any colocation data center there are times of stress and heavy workloads. The upside to that is work life balance is a real thing at QTS and doing community events and team building events makes the stressful aspects of the job balance out well.

We love our people too and believe that we could not be successful without the true talent, dedication and team work our employees exhibit every day. We will continue to look for the best of the best when recruiting, and build a culture where the best of the best can continue to thrive and grow! Thank you for being on our team. Jana Moore, Director, Talent Acquisition

Pros

QTS is a good company with heart, quality products, and caring folks. Just like a lot of places, sometimes the politics of 'getting ahead' or 'protecting my turf' get in the way of progress and growth. That's unfortunate but people are people I guess. The good thing is the culture tends to win out and the company does make the right decisions for the right reasons the vast majority of the time. That's really important! The company has seen explosive growth so if you are a go-getter you have a great chance to be successful and grow with the company. If you need rigid structure and process to perform your job, you'll quickly see the holes that you have to fill in yourself to be successful. That can lead to frustration, confusion, re-work, and sometimes turn-over. It has the feel of a family start-up with sound financial backing. I think that's what makes it fun and exciting - others may disagree. Technology is moving so fast these days I don't know if QTS will ever catchup to being an automated-process heavy enterprise. Perhaps it's better that way, anyway?

Cons

Sometimes the wrong people are hired or the wrong decisions are made that aren't a good culture fit. These setbacks hurt growth and morale.

This is great feedback and insight! It sounds like you've already embraced the 'chaos' that can sometimes accompany such rapid growth and are thriving! I couldn't agree more that there are so many opportunities for people who are driven and willing to push themselves to learn more, and challenge their teams to try new things. We are lucky to have you. Keep up the great work and please be sure you're sharing your feedback with your leaders. We are only as good as our people.
