Pros

You'll make some good connections with your peers, mainly because you are in the same, sinking ship. The benefits are alright and the pay is good

Cons

Since Adaire took over as CEO, there have been increasingly negative changes in company culture and motivation. Our quota increased by over 100% from Q4 2024 to Q1 2025, which does not align with the company's priorities. It seems they are delusional, believing we are a $20 billion company (Adaire's vision) when we are far from it. There is little possibility of progression unless one panders to the leadership, who reward employees with meaningless awards and company store vouchers to maintain motivation, or promote them from AE 1 to 2 (which means something only within Equinix). Also, there is a clear bias toward DEI, evident in promotions and hiring decisions, and the poor performance of some promoted individuals.

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!
