Great Company, Great Outlook, but room for improvement

Business operations analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The culture has adapted well over the past three years. Top Management (Chiefs) listens and responds well. The stock doing well doesn't hurt either.

Cons

It's tough communicating upwards within departments (to VPs). VPs will talk through people instead of being direct. Titles matter too much to many employees that work there. VPs can be too focused to hit internal figures instead of focused on improving the world and our industry. It's very tough for entry-to-mid level employees to work your way "up".

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback with us. In talking to our employees around the world to codify our culture and values we had lots of conversations about why we exist and how we want to show up to others and each other, the net result of which is our purpose, our dream, our culture, and our values. We agree that it’s important to keep all of this top of mind in everything we do so we can continue to fulfill our purpose protect, connect and power the digital world. We’ve had great successes with many of our new-to-career hires and are continuing to develop new ideas to challenge our team to think differently and “Find a Better Way.”

We agree! The extraordinary opportunity coupled with the extraordinary people at Equinix make it an extraordinary place. It can indeed get busy and stressful due to the nature of our work and the growth of our company. If you haven’t already, I encourage you to check out the Equinix Learning Exchange (accessible from The Hub) which has a plethora of content you might find useful. Thanks for your feedback!
