Pros

Growth story, strong positioning in the Cloud and data center space, has good solid, bright smart people, a lot of them sticking around for the growth/stock appreciation.

Cons

Too many C-Level executives for this size, spend a lot of time competing against each other. Net result is layers of people doing "busy work". Too many networking people in the DNA of the company to let new technologies come to fruit.

As a leader of the IT organization, I challenge you to “Speak Up” and influence the type of change you want to see in the organization. Since I don’t always have visibility at all levels in the organization, I empower - and expect - my leadership team to question and defend against work that has minimal impact or will not scale. I take my responsibility as a leader in this organization seriously and as such I take your comments seriously. I welcome direct feedback and the opportunity to have a conversation with you about what I, and my peers, can do differently since perception is as important as reality. Please email me directly if you are open to discussing further. I can be reached at blillie@equinix.com. Finally, while I appreciate your advice to management, I feel we have a very strong executive management team who care very deeply for the company and for each other. I am sorry you see differently, but as a member of the C-suite I see how hard my talented teammates work to put ego and persona aside for the benefit of the company. Again, feel free to send me an email if you’d like to chat more about this.
