Pros

Equinix allows me the opportunity to be a part of building out global team. I'm learning and growing by being able to build out global processes, partnering with global teams and learning about how business is done in over ten countries around the world and solving problems on a global level. Management is very engaged with the employee population. They are making a true effort to maintain our company culture and values as we continue to grow at a rapid pace globally. They are engaged with employees at all levels and it is not rare to see them in the kitchen in the office in casual conversation with any employee. They are admired for their open door policy. They encourage being able to come to the table and disagree with an idea and voicing an opinion that may go against the grain but then make the best decision for the business. They are invested in their people, not just the bottom line.

Cons

It's extremely fast paced, we've taken on a lot of global projects trying to scale and with that comes growing pains. You have to be comfortable working in an environment where deliverables may change quickly and you will be expected to adapt just as quickly. It can be exhausting but for me that is part of the challenge I crave and love. While at times it can be overwhelming, my manager has always supported work life balance and always listened if I raised the white flag and offered assistance or redirect.

Thanks for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. We are pleased to hear you are enjoying all of the growth and learning opportunities within our organization. We also hear you loud and clear on the fast-paced nature of the work environment. As we complete our 52nd consecutive quarter of top line growth, with two major acquisitions in 2015, projects are definitely fast-moving at Equinix. While this can be an exciting time, we also recognize that this kind of rapid growth comes with its fair share of challenges. As our organization grows and changes, we look forward to staying closely connected to the business so as to swiftly recognize and address growing pains as they occur. We appreciate your valued contributions and positive outlook, and hope you will continue to be an energy supplier at Equinix.

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!
