I have been working at QTS full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
The employees all get along with each other - no backstabbing to get ahead. You feel as if the company and CEO care about You and your well being. Their policies are not perfect but the feedback loop is wide open and they are continually adjusting to make it better.
Cons
Some of the leaders do not have formal leadership training or experience and it shows in how those departments are run.
Advice to Management
Keep listening to the people who power this company. Be agile and make the changes quickly to allow more growth.

Application
I applied online. The process took 2+ weeks. I interviewed at QTS in June 2016.
Interview
It was a very laid back interview process. Initially a phone interview then in person. The interviewers were friendly and helpful. Most of the questions were asking how current skills relate to the job needed. This seems like a great company to work for. The managers seem to value input and involve everybody in the process.
