Pros

Leader in DC services across 3 regions.

Cons

This company had a fantastic culture my entire career until the last 2 years. The UK office is led by an old Dell employee, who hired a lot of ex-Dell employees. At this point the culture has deteriorated and replaced with manipulation, cronyism and toxic management. If you are a middle aged white man do not bother to interview with this organization. There is an overt effort by HR and management to purge the company of middle aged white men. The talk around the office is that the culture is toxic and management is weak and biased toward younger empoyees.

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!
