Pros

Nice building to work in and good co-workers. That's it.

Cons

I just watched someone I work with be informed at 4:30 PM on a Friday afternoon that his contract has been terminated immediately and that this was his last day. This individual came into QTS about 1.5 years ago and did an incredible job creating and launching a new product for QTS in just under 5 months. This product is expected to generate millions of dollars for QTS in the years to come. He was a stand-up guy, got along great with everyone in the company, and did a really good job with his product. To make matters worse, he and his wife are expecting twins in 2 months. Unreal that you could do this to someone that was so dedicated to a company, even as a contractor. He didn't violate any code of conduct that I'm aware of, so this is just baffling to me and everyone here at QTS. He did ask to telecommute for about 3 weeks after his twins were born to help out his wife and supposedly the COO and CTO of the company didn't like that. Their comment was "Why does he need to stay home? We didn't when we had our kids" It's 2015, are you kidding me?!? My advice, stay very far away from this company. They obviously do not care about people, at all. Truly unbelievable and now has me and my co-workers thinking of leaving ASAP because of this. Me and my co-workers are speechless. This is not how a great human being should be treated, period.

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.

Servant Leadership - Folks will lean in to help you resolve issues.

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.
