Terrible management

Pros

Good salary and benefits. Some senior management outside of marketing is great. Unfortunately, easy transfers across groups is not optimized.

Cons

Micro management. Free reign to managers with no ability to manage people and disrespectful to employees. Highly political.

Pros

The company is not shy about helping employees succeed both personally and professionally. Everyone works together well toward a collective goal for the company's success, and recognition abounds. There are social events multiple times a month to get employees together and management does a great job keeping everyone informed of key developments on a regular basis.

Cons

While work-life balance can be a challenge, the work is always interesting and challenging - sometimes you just need to put in the extra time to get it all done with high quality.

Pros

Good medical, dental, ESPP, 401K benefits

Cons

I worked as a part of the Global Operations Strategy team for 9 months at Equinix. It is the worst experience I have ever had working in Silicon Valley. The work atmosphere is extremely hostile - constant bickering,bombarding. While Equinix is a great company to work for, the global operations department has the lowest employee satisfaction ratings and the way it is run speaks for it. There is no room for creativity, innovation- just do what you are told to do. There is a lot of favoritism - if you are in the good books of management your life is comfortable and good, else you are in hell! There is a top down management execution failure in this department. I would advise anyone to stay away from the Global Operations strategy team at Equinix.
