Pros

Financially healthy company (for now). Good place for Sales Reps. Above average work-environment quality in the teams and among peers. Lots of responsibility. No strong hierarchical barriers.

Cons

Employees in general seems to be constantly overloaded with work: the resources are not used efficiently nor effectively. And salaries are flat. Few career opportunities if you are not in -at least- a regional HD. Different scenario otherwise. Almost impossible for entry level employees to work their way up nowadays. Few really good managers, general lack of guts and above all lack of empathy towards their own teams. Mediocrity is accepted, at the expense of real Merit. Politics plays a key role.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and share a few of your thoughts with us. We are glad to hear you are satisfied with your work environment and colleagues. As the company continues to grow at a very fast pace, the challenge of balancing workloads and resources is a very important one and something to which we remain committed. We are sorry to hear you are less than satisfied with internal career opportunities, as the ongoing development of our employees is both something we take very seriously at Equinix, and the cornerstone of our Grow, Perform, Succeed (GPS) approach to performance and growth. We are currently working on giving employees more visibility into available career experiences and supporting them in taking charge of their career development. We have recently invested in career development tools, implemented Career Pathways for some functions, and are continuing to roll it out across other functional areas at Equinix. Our Career Pathways is aimed at giving employees visibility into different career perspectives and can be used when discussing opportunities for employee development with your manager during Quarterly Conversations. We encourage all employees to visit the Career Pathways page on the HUB to gather insight into the scope of this project, the available framework, and the planning for the further implementation.

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!
