Thanks for your review. We appreciate your positive outlook and willingness to share feedback with us. We hope you are joking about your manager not knowing your name or what you are working on. If not, you should reach out to your manager today to schedule your Quarterly Conversation. These conversations between managers and employees should be taking place (at least) four times a year to establish clear goals, and provide an opportunity for ongoing growth and development, and to help drive performance.

Great people, great work culture, great mobility. If you work hard and do well at your job, you will be recognized and appreciated.

I have no experienced any cons to working at Equinix so far. Maybe that their free breakfasts can be too enticing at times!
