Pros

The insurance and the stock plan are very nice, the communications from high level management are clear

Cons

Local management staff has no understanding of the co-location marketplace. NONE. They also have no understanding of some of the most basic IT skills, therefore can not judge one employee skills to the next because they do not comprehend the scope of the jobs to be done.

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!
