Pros

I *LOVE* working at Equinix. We have an outstanding culture. Our leaders truly care about employees. Colleagues here are hugely supportive of each other "Put We Before Me" (one of our Magic of Equinix values). We get to do really cool work that matters and has an impact. I can tangibly tie what I'm doing to our companies objectives, it's very satisfying. I get to try lots of new things in marketing, we're *always* innovating. AND, our CEO's "I'm safe, I belong, I matter" value system means I can really be myself here. I can be a senior leader *and* a mother. I don't have to separate those 2 parts of me. Especially during COVID with 2 kids in a house while I'm on zooms, we are all encouraged to do whatever is needed to be ok. Our CEO/CHRO put in a "Wireless Wednesdays" plan to help us all deal with COVID burnout. It has enabled me to get back to critical thinking about my area of the business - when was the last time you got to carve out time every week to do that (or whatever else you need to do in order to cope with the workload/COVID stressors)?!? There's a huge propensity to promote from within - far beyond any other company that I have worked at. My manager is amazing, she values all aspects of me. I love recruiting and telling people just how amazing Equinix is and when they join here they come back and say you really were right about it.

Cons

There are no cons. My kids love Equinix too ;-)

Pros

Excellent business model Genuinely cares about employees and community well being Encourages relationship building and teamwork Good compensation and benefits

Cons

As the company as grown there is some siloing and decision rights confusion which has resulted in things moving slower at times.

Pros

Inclusive, diverse, respectful, supportive, customer centric. Just a few ingredients to the Magic of Equinix. Leadership across the company is very inspiring by their actions. Their behaviour reflects a perspective that they work for the people of the company and make it a place where we can change the world.

Cons

Very people centric and collaboration is critical to make an impact. Can feel like it slows down the process to ensure socialization of activity. Overall, not a difficult con as it reflects a very people-oriented culture.
