Pros

This company offers some perks but the important ones depend on your manager's approval.

Cons

Before joining equinix it is crucial to read the Hindenburg report. This will give you a solid understanding of the industry and clarify why the review ratings have drastically fallen over the past two years. [Both Hindenburg Report and Equinix Statements on the matter are publicly available] The company hierarchy tends to place foreigners and non-white employees at the lower levels while natives and white employees occupy the top positions. [To apply for many things including mobility, roles and projects prior approval from line managers must be obtained, effectively granting them disproportionate authority over employees] Equinix has shifted from a Growth/medium stock to Blend/medium. Since the Hindenburg report managers are primarily focused on their own survival fearing loss of their remaining authority. Many employees have been forced out against their will as evidenced by the slew of negative reviews on Glassdoor. [Reviews in Glassdoor are available and visible] Equinix employs tactics that could be seen as bullying, harassment or abuse to push employees to leave, effectively conducting stealth layoffs for the past two years. [There is no policy on bullying or harassment and every mention of bullying or abuse is anecdotal] Once hired, pay increases fail to keep pace with inflation leading to a gradual but inevitable decline in purchasing power. The company relies on past achievements for hiring and motivation, ignoring current issues and developments. [Latest CPI figure is 3%]

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!
