Pros

Data centers are better than any others

Cons

Company has expanded rapidly and the majority of senior management have either no data center or sales experience background and/or they are being hired from a competitor. The company no longer ha the Equinix feel it did in the beginning, it is slowly morphing into it competitor

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and share a few of your thoughts with us. We are sorry to hear that you are less than satisfied with the backgrounds and professional experience of some of your colleagues. We agree with you that the culture at Equinix is definitely something special and worth preserving. This is why we have invested so much time and energy over the last couple of years listening to employee stories from around the globe, and across all levels of the organization. There has been a strong interest from the Executive team to both better understand and define the culture and values of Equinix so that we may stay true to them as we continue to grow.

Pros

ESPP - Have you seen the stock price! Printing money. Travel budget is loose REIT status is competitive advantage Most of the leadership is competent Pay seems to be competitive

Cons

Have not figured out how to integrate acquisitions Buying a services company was a smart move. The integration process may destroy it before it gets off the ground. - mass exodus has happened and with it went all the talent. Sales people are trained to sell Products while the datacenter business is dying. They are struggling to convert into solution sellers for the complex selling required. The Enterprise market is going to be a challenge to replicate the same success as in previous years People work in the datacenter or they are in sales/marketing offices. Sales offices are ghost towns - no culture
