Dis-organised company, primarily driven by what the customer want and not what Savvis can offer
Datacenter Engineer (Current Employee), Slough, ENG –
Pros: benifits
Cons: sales
Dis-organised company, primarily driven by what the customer want and not what Savvis can offer. Sales promise expectations that either the company or the DC team have no input in and are usually left under pressure to deliver.

Great Opportunity for True Hunters
Global Sales Executive (Former Employee), Dallas –
Pros: great benefits
Cons: sometimes suffer from spotty customer care
If you are a "hunter" and will really put in the time and effort, the compensation, at least in the past has been excellent. That being said, what the effect of the recent purchase by CenturyLink will be on that is hard to determine. Sales management and senior sales management tends to be weak. Focus is more on colocation opportunities than managed – more...  services, but still the compensation is good. – less

Good environment, high tech company in the forefront of technology
Business Development Director (Former Employee), Miami florida –
Pros: great share profit sharing program, open door executive leadership.
Cons: no cons, except the usual corporation politics.
Savvis was a great learning experience that implemented a state of the art, layer 2 internet infrastructure with private network access points being able to provide QoS and SLA's over the internet. Savvis was the first company to use the internet as a B2B delivery mechanism.

Average when I left in 2010
manager (Former Employee), St. Louis –
Pros: flexible about working away from the office;
Cons: tends to highly compensate a few, reactive (vs. planful), siloed (vs. integrated across functions)
I left Savvis late in 2010. While there, I worked in a support department. Since I left, Savvis was acquired by CenturyLink, and the manager I worked for has left the company. My ratings reflect my experience there, so someone considering Savvis would be better served to consider reviews of those who have more recent experience with the company.
