Pros

The Medical benefits, ESPP, 401K, and RSU's are great at Equinix.

Cons

Rules and guidelines are followed when beneficial for the company or manager. Raise and merit increases are based on relationships with the management and not your hard work. Equinix is trying to be a new hip company to the stockholders and the outside world but inside everything is old and antiquated. From the management styles to the software they use. Every database and system used is by different vendors nothing talks to each other. We have new apps that don't work correctly or duplicate the desktop program it's replacing. Equinix has "SOP's" that contradict each other. Equinix has training but it's on the particular software or program you have to use. But to understand the job you need to understand Equinix from A to Z, not just your silo.
