Pros

Just doing as-is is not okay. You are encouraged and expected to redefine, reshape and improve. That's the kind of culture that ensured that Equinix continued to surpass revenue projection for 60 consecutive quarters. A very diverse, fun and forward thinking culture. Very employee focused and everyone gets a piece of the pie.

Cons

None I can think of.
