Thank you for writing a review and sharing your feedback with us. We agree that with great momentum (and 57 consecutive quarters of top-line growth!) comes occasional pockets of intensity, most recently in the last few months when employees hustled to ensure a successful acquisition of 29 data centers from Verizon. With the acquisition complete, we definitely took time to both celebrate the integration with colleagues and thank all of the people who worked so hard to make it a success. We appreciate your positive outlook and hope you will continue to be an energy supplier at Equinix.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and give us your feedback. While we are glad that you had a positive learning experience; we're sorry to hear that you felt managers were not caring and the culture was not nurturing for you. This year we began rolling out the Career Pathways program this year in order to deliver global consistency for career development, create multiple career paths for employee growth, and give tools for employees and managers to have meaningful career development conversations. We hope these actions will facilitate more positive conversations in the future.
