Pros

If you are a go-getter individual, this is the place to be. Equinix personnel are top performers and the brightest I've ever had the opportunity to work with.

Thanks to our Board of Directors for having the wisdom and vision to make this company grows into a multi-billion empire, which really makes work even more interesting and challenging

Cons

The company is growing too fast and if not careful in acquiring potential companies. Equinix will loose as a Global leader in Internet Business Exchange platforms and connectivity worldwide..
