Pros

Made some great friendships while I was there

Cons

Their stated values are to enable every employee to be able to say "I'm safe, I belong, I matter". For myself and many women on the SE team this could not be further from the truth. I'm sorry to say that my experience at Equinix was fraught with harassment, retaliation, and lack of equal opportunities for advancement. As another reviewer put it, it's the quintessential old boys club culture that is thankfully becoming more and more obsolete in the industry. You can do better.

I appreciate your courage in being transparent with your feedback about your time at Equinix. Your comments are very concerning, and certainly do not reflect the organization and culture we’re looking to grow and foster, both within my Global Technical Sales Team and across Equinix. If there is a chance you would be willing to speak to us, we’d like to learn more – both so we can look into these concerns further and address them appropriately, and also to continue taking the right steps to ensure Equinix is a place where all employees can say “I’m safe, I belong, and I matter.” If you’re comfortable reaching out to me with your contact information, I will ensure you are put in touch with the appropriate person from HR to speak with further. Alternatively, you can reach out to us via our Ethics and Compliance Helpline at https://equinix.ethicspoint.com. Thank you again for your candor. Leanne Starace – SVP, Global Technical Sales
