Pros

I have been a happy Equinix employee for 10+ years! I have seen the company grow into the global market leader through great strategic decisions by leadership, organic growth, M&A and lots of hard work. It has been an exciting ride. I appreciate that the great culture and values of Equinix have not changed despite our rapid growth and that's thanks in part to attention to this issue from all levels. At Equinix, employees take pride in the company and its successes. There is a focus on employee development, recognition programs and a new focus on employee wellness which is appreciated. As an employee I feel respected and valued. It's a great place to work and I have no plans to look elsewhere!

Cons

Sometimes with rapid growth there can be growing pains... Certain years the amount of work has felt overwhelming and I know some employees have felt burnt out. But I think management is getting better at recognizing this and addressing it.

Pros

Great people in various internal roles.

Cons

CRO and Senior leadership failed with execution of their CS REORGANIZATION! They laid off exceptional and tenured talent who were either not replaced or new job requisitions filled with external candidates. Upon making internal employees aware of layoffs, they did so in such a callous manner with complete disregard for humanity. It was literally appalling and disgusting! The ‘Magic of Equinix’ (I belong. I matter. I feel safe.) is no longer present and hasn’t been for over two years. No work life balance. Everyone is just a number so why be an over achiever in such an awful space. Morale is lower than ever!
