Pros

The team was professional and helpful. The site has a clean and presentable indoor/outdoor appearance. Decent bonus each year. I enjoyed that each new day in the office, everyone always shook your hand and asked how you are. I think that helps with moral. Plus all the Cuban coffee you can drink, cereal and various fruits and snacks for free.

Cons

Every morning, there was a meeting with my team to discuss the plan of the day and provide shift turnover. Not too productive for the night shift guys having to stay late every time so what would be a 6PM-6AM shift would actually be an additional 60-90min regularly. The building is massive at 1.2million sq ft and you can get lost a bit too easily as a newcomer and you have to learn without assistance. The pay needs to be higher since it's in the city and it's expensive.

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!
