Great People Innovative products Decent benefits Work from home options

Cons

Work life balence is awful. It's not just the balance, but the workload is that of a slave and there is little to know remorse from management. This makes the "magic of Equinix" seem fictitious. Additionally, the roles and responsibilities are not that of a CSM in the industry, instead all work is reactive and task driven. Processes are ridiculous, sometimes pages long, and there is an expectation for CSMs to basically know everything.... CSMs are also held responsible for most everything when things go wrong. Some how, this continues to be acceptable by the leadership team. There have been lots of lost promises for change, but they continue to saddle this team with burden and no relief. It's been years of promises! It's even difficult to take PTO, you are required to find someone to back you up and usually teammates don't want to cover even more workload, so you end up begging people to cover for you... it's terrible. In general, there is way too much pressure on CSM teams...

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I am sorry to hear about your experience within the Customer Success Management organization. Although it is disappointing to receive a review of this nature, listening to and understanding the experiences of our team members is a key part of our culture and an important step in fostering growth and change as we scale to meet new business success. We’ve added a number of programs in our organization to improve both the customer experience and our CSM employee experience as part of this ongoing process. I agree that Equinix has amazing people and products and part of our multi-year journey is working together to navigate this exciting growth time for the company. I really encourage you to use your 1:1 meeting or quarterly conversation with your manager to discuss your experience. I am also happy to meet with you and discuss the feedback you have for the team.
