Vantage Data Centers

What is the best part of working at the company?
Vantage pays well. The company offers a potentially substantial year and bonus for low level employees.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Control over your work, product and deadlines. Management does not hold itself or similar level employees accountable for preventing others from meeting their performance requirements. The lower level employee you are, the less control you have over your job. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The company culture is work, work, work. It’s not explicitly stated, but you are expected to work after hours and on weekends to overcome work process issues and meet your deadlines. Supervisors may also have a little to no management training or experience. They manage by fear.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It’s frustrating. You can do everything possible to meet performance expectations, but others are not held accountable for delaying or obstructing your progress.

Basically, this place is run by people who do not know what they are doing. They were in business for a year and hadn't even put a billing system in place so they can bill their customers. It seems they didnt realize that they were in business to make money.
IT and engineering management constantly fought over what technology to purchase in order just to do business. Neither management staff had the background to even pick a decent computer let alone what systems to purchase and how to integrate them.
HR? a joke. The HR person was really a marketing person who could barely use a computer. I guess hiring something like ADP to take care of the HR function would make too much sense instead of paying someone almost 100k a year for doing something she clearly wasnt qualified for.

Vantage Data Centers is truly the industry's hidden gem. With years of consecutive growth and success, Vantage continues to expand it's global footprint, all while maintaining a small hometown culture-like feel. The people are genuine across all levels. It's a great chance to take the next step in your career. If you are already in the data center industry, this is the next level. If you are not already, this is the place you want to start your data center career. There is so much to explore, learn, and grow in. 

Vantage is fast-paced, exciting, constantly changing, and a world of fun! If you're someone who thrives and enjoys something new each week, it's the place for you! Vantage is constantly trying out new processes, policies, and technologies. If you're someone who likes things more consistent daily and at more of a relaxed pace, it may not be the perfect match. 

The company recently transitioned from outsourcing all of its equipment maintenance to hiring in-house maintenance personnel.  The original management was almost completely replaced due to performance issues, and the new management has not yet put certain, critical foundations in place.  One of those foundations is employee orientation.  

The new management people are sincerely committed to providing an enjoyable work environment, but the structure is not yet in place, and this leads to ambiguities and misunderstandings as to what is required.

This work environment is in flux, and it may or may not be a fit for certain people who prefer structure in their work day.

If you join with a certain expectation, you expect those to be held during your employment, right? Wrong. 
They will change those expectations from corporate level down to local level, driving a wedge between you and your team, ultimately making your managers have to choose corporate because they won't stick their own necks out to back up how they pitched the job to you.
Work in car? Nope. Doesn't count toward time.
Work at home? Nope. Doesn't count.
Work in free time because you care(d) once? Nope. Won't count either.
If you're hourly expect to be treated as salary. If you're salary, expect to be treated as hourly.
Oh, even HR people are leaving. Have fun! 

I really love working here. There are so many great opportunities to grow, and the people I work with are genuinely kind and authentic. It is clear that the team actually cares about your success, which makes a huge difference in the daily atmosphere.

The flexibility and work-life balance have been fantastic for me. On top of the great culture, there is a lot of comfort in knowing how stable this industry is. Data centers are a booming business and they are not going anywhere. If you want a job where you feel supported and secure, I highly recommend joining the team.

I support our security team, our CMMS users (computerized maintenance management system) and IT desktop support.  a typical day includes imaging laptops for new users, creating accounts, domain, mailbox & spam filtering, Active Directory, Lync, Cherwell Service Management, Lenel, Traka, password resets & support.

Learned CMMS Administration & IT Desktop Support.

The most enjoyable part of the job is solving problems and providing tools and solutions to make other's jobs easier.

This company hires to many AWS ex-employees and they are bringing that dreaded culture to Vantage and it is making this company hard to work for. The people that come from other companies should adapt Vantage’s values not incorporate there previous jobs values. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Pay rate was good.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No direction or guidance.  No training or mgmt involvement.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
All remote.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Worked remotely.

Yes, it is a fun and productive workplace and yes they have a ping pong table. I enjoy working with this company. I need to be closer to my home, if they were near there I would never leave. The benefits are top notch.
