Pros

* Learning something new on a daily basis. Equinix never stop thriving and step forward every time, and it makes me to study more and more to keep up my knowledge base and sharpen my ideas. This is totally a good influence for myself. * Being a part of Family-like community ; Awesome people and culture. Despite not being around each other physically, my team is close-knit like family. Especially, by managing operation 24/7 as one team, helping each other out day by day is making our bond stronger.

Cons

* Insufficient Internal resources. * Internal notification / advisories are a bit late to digest sometimes. It would be so great to improve training program as well. We still need a lot more resource to understand our company - especially for new hire.

The best thing that we can get while working at EQUINX is sense of accomplishment

Pros

Your communication skill will be useful in our department. EQUINIX Data Centers located all over the world in proportion to rapidly increased demands for business connectivity. In this growing industry, Service desk is thinking and acting to maintain our customer's business stable. So we are trying to communicate closely and globally with customers, site engineers, CSMs, and other related departments to archive it. If you would like to work globally and like communication, I would like to strongly recommend to work at EQUINIX.

Cons

Since our Data center is working for 24/7, the agent who engages in managing Data Center works in shift. Hence in the beginning of working on EQUINIX, you may feel it is challenging to manage your health, since some of the agent have to work on night shift.
