QTS reviews

First thing. QTS Datacenters is NOT a datacenter or Information Technology company. It is a Realty Trust. The datacenters are just a by product of the ownership trying to raise the value of that real estate. Management does NOT understand information technology or best practices. They do not understand how to run a company like this. They do a best effort but fall far short of what is necessary to be successful. There is almost no documentation or process/procedure. After reading this review. If you still decide to working with QTS Datacenters. Get your money up front. Don't think that I am going to work hard and get a good performance review and work my way up. You might get a good review but when it comes to compensation. Not going to happen. It is not part of QTS's business model. The QTS business model say, outsource your equipment to me and I will run/management for less money. So there is NO money for you. You only people I could possibly recommend for QTS are Tier 1 and 2 people trying to gain experience. Tier 3 and 4 folks. As the Italian's say - forget about it. Oh, next carry more than 40 hours of PTO (Paid Time Off). Because if you any reason your employment ends. QTS is only going to pay you 40 hours of PTO. Do not matter is you earned it or accrued it. You will never receive it. Last tip. Read the other reviews. 100 French men cannot all be wrong!

There really isn't too much to add that is different than what others have said here. All of these "positive" reviews are directly from HR trying to boost the ratings; known fact. As stated all of the good, intelligent people are leaving or have left. Anyone ABOVE the VP level is really out of their league honestly. Nepotism runs rampant and if you are related to anyone else, 1st generation or 3rd cousin twice removed, you will be treated like royalty. Everyone else is expected to treat you the same way. Once one person doesn't approve of you, above VP level, then everyone else is expected to follow suit and disregard you as well. The Christianity envelope is pushed too far for a publicly traded company. Expect to have prayers and crying regarding how blessed the company is for revenue growth during all-hands meetings and location meetings, and ridiculous self-growth workshops that only prove to waste money. (Keep the books on your desk though.) While faith is nice, it shouldn't be shoved down the throats of employees of different faith and heritage. It makes people uncomfortable. If you remotely know how to do your job, you will likely be told that you don't and your experience is worthless. Only apply to work here if you have a degree from Harvard or Yale, and with the anticipation that you will work for 35% less than your worth for going to an Ivy League school. If you went to any other accredited institution of higher learning, your paper is worthless here. Typical "do more with less" mentality at this company, which claims to foster growth and "take care of their people," but they do not. Benefits are worthless, 401K match is not what it should be, and days off do not roll over, nor do you get a payout if you leave for unused accrued, earned days. Recruiters are trained to tell you how great things are and it's their job to place people; that's how they get paid. However, heed the warnings here. They are looking for yes-men and women, so if that is what you are looking for and are good at, this is the company for you. If you like to have your own thoughts and ideas and express them, and be a contributing member of an organization, look elsewhere as it's not wanted or allowed here.
