Pros

Equinix is a global company offering diverse international experience and an exceptional work environment. My journey has been outstanding, and I highly recommend Equinix as a great place to build a career.

Cons

Employee salaries in WA significantly lag behind those of colleagues in Europe and America, creating a noticeable disparity that impacts fairness and competitiveness across global teams.

Going Down the Drain

Pros

Pantries are full usually. This used to be a place run by legends, real leaders. Not anymore.

Cons

Since Adaire Fox Martin has taken over this company is going down the drain. Layoffs after layoffs, malicious accounting practices, leaders read from tele-prompters, doing comedy skits while shamelessly firing hundreds of workforce every quarter in the name of efficiency. C suite acts like comedians in public and are gangsters in real life. Culture has evaporated, fake smiles from People’s leaders showering cosmetic messages of care and compassion. The good leaders have left this once amazing company, and now a bunch of greedy fake farts are running it in the ground.

Pros

Great teammates, some highly capable and very helpful, even going out of their way to help others in their spare time.

Cons

Management does not acknowledge such contributions - which are extremely crucial to the org because of horizontal knowledge movements. These people end up being laid off, because they're expensive. New hires can't be trained to the same degree anymore because the experienced staff are gone, nobody else to consult. Immediate management not consulted during layoffs, people doing the laying off do it based on the chart not the person's actual capabilities on the ground. Issues that used to take 5 minute clarifications and same day fixes now take 3 days to identify. It's eventually breeding the culture of not helping others since it won't be on record, and they'll have a target on their backs. This year, the usual benefits are gone, and people are expected to forfeit leaves to meet an impossible deadline set by new c suite, irregardless of customer experience. Nobody dares feedback saying it can't be done, because then you'll just be replaced until it can be done, so C suite also won't get the true capabilities of their staff.
