Thanks for your review and for sharing a few of your thoughts with us. Yes, we definitely love our interns at Equinix! :-) Regarding opportunities for growth, we hope you will consider speaking with your manager about these. As this last summer marked our 50th consecutive quarter of revenue growth, we have been growing for quite some time and are constantly looking for ways to promote from within to fill current openings. If you don't already do so, please be sure to regularly review all of the opportunities to "Grow Your Career With Us," as highlighted on The Hub (our main intranet page).
