Pros

To be fair, most of the employees are nice people, there are just a number of rotten ones who spoils the lot Positive company outlook Decent Salary Nice office space Best in market ESPP plan

Cons

Hire incompetent people "High Tech" industry but "Very Low Tech" Say goodbye to work-life balance Incompetent and insecure senior staff sends emails at 1AM and expects you to have an answer before the day begins for minor issues.

Thank you for your willingness to write a review and share feedback with us. We appreciate your positive outlook for our company and are glad to hear you enjoyed working with the majority of your colleagues. We are proud of our company culture at Equinix and can assure you that hiring the right people is something we take very seriously. One of the ways we try to ensure new joiners will be a strong fit within our culture is to interview not just for the skills we seek, but also “culture fit,” when considering applicants for hire. This last quarter we hit our 57th consecutive quarter of revenue growth. At Equinix, we are all proud of the growth that comes from the spectacular contributions of our global workforce. Some of the ways our employees find balance in our high-growth environment is through participation in a number of company-sponsored wellness activities. Equinix also offers numerous learning programs across various platforms to enable employees to find better pacing in their personal and professional lives.

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!
