Pros

Solid/stable company with a growing future. Competitive pay/benefits. Lots of training classes and things to learn, not boring. I've been in this industry for 15 years and this is the best company that I have ever worked for.

Cons

The only cons that I could think of are going to be the same at any company you could work for. You might not always get along and mesh well with every single person in the company but that is to be expected anywhere here on planet Earth. People love to complain in this (cons) section but Equinix really is a great company.
