Pros

- Everyone loves the stocks, look at EQIX, the growth is just significant every year. - Little perks in the office, snacks, food, drinks - The technology itself is unique and not so easy to be cloned by competitors - Cool looking offices and data centers

Cons

- The marketing organisation is very heavy at the top senior level, many directors and not much managers or specialists. People just talk the talk and walk the walk, things keep at a high level and never get executed well. - People just stay in the company for the sake of the stocks. Just for the money. And laid off is not a norm here. Lots of redundancy resources. - Management promoted/hired the wrong people, which bring in a lot of conflicts and unfavourable culture in the team.

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!
