Pros

Decent Benefits (401k not matching). Snacks/coffee/drinks provided by employer. Get to work with a wide range of software doing a wide range of work. Ok compensation if you hold a fairly high title in the Company or have at least a Bachelors but it's very selective and the power seems to be distributed amongst friends of friends who were brought on from other Companies or other Company Acquisitions.

Cons

Compensation is not competitive. They low ball you like crazy. They would rather bring new people in and give them more money for your position than giving you or anyone else who has been with the Company an extended period of time, more money. Management doesn't validate their team members. CTO seems to play favorites. All in all great place for someone starting out in the IT industry to get their hands wet and on a lot of different devices and software. Other than that, not worth the stress, humiliation, lack of validation, bullying and headaches from distribution of power. Definitely not worth it if you're trying to provide for a family unless you stay hourly and work a lot of overtime. We've had people get promoted to higher Tier positions that were making less money (salary and overtime doesn't go hand in hand) than they were at a lower tier position just from how much of a work load that comes from one Client who we let walk all over us. Also, lots of promises made by upper management to shut up you up and get you back to work.

Pros

DataBank has built a culture that is both clear and actionable. Expectations are well defined, and employees understand not only what is expected of them professionally, but also how they are expected to treat one another. The culture is reinforced consistently, creating an environment where accountability, respect, and collaboration are part of daily operations. Leadership demonstrates a healthy balance between driving performance and recognizing human realities. Employees are trusted to take ownership, learn from mistakes, and make corrections without fear-driven management. The company is experiencing strong growth, yet leadership has maintained a pace that feels intentional and sustainable rather than chaotic. Growth is handled with respect for employees, customers, and long-term organizational health.

Cons

I don't know that I have any specific cons. The company or people are not perfect, but what/who is and I am certainly not. The rapid growth of both the industry and the company can occasionally feel overwhelming. Expectations move quickly, priorities can shift fast, and employees are often asked to adapt in real time. Leadership generally recognizes these pressures and does not ignore the impact on employees, which helps keep the pace manageable. Growth has also created some challenges around policy and process consistency, particularly within corporate functions. At times, employees may believe they are following the correct process only to discover that procedures have recently changed. More proactive and centralized communication around policy updates would improve clarity and reduce frustration. The increasing public scrutiny and “not in my backyard” sentiment toward data centers across parts of the country is another area of concern for the industry as a whole. DataBank, however, has generally approached expansion responsibly by working carefully with local authorities and selecting locations that minimize impact on surrounding communities.
