Thank you for writing a review and sharing a couple of your thoughts with us. We are glad to hear you are happy with your compensation, benefits and schedule. If you are still seeking hands-on training, be sure to speak directly with your manager, as employees in New York have quite a few training opportunities available to them, in a classroom setting, conducted by Global Operations, and/or online through the Equinix Learning Exchange (ELE). We strongly encourage you to own your own career and bring any requests for work-related certifications to management. Employee growth and advancement are very important to us at Equinix, and the perfect topics for your next quarterly conversation with your manager.

Pros

-Free lunch every wednesday -Good benefits -High stock value with employee discount (free money) -Company is actively growing every year. In my years I thought it was a good company and a great opportunity to get in to the data center industry. The company was extremely progressive and saw growth in many aspects; high sales, new high profile customers, new facilities, acquisitions each year I was there.

Cons

-Company is very very big (which is personal preference) -Career development is slower, with a big valuable company comes with hiring more experienced outside talent to protect their assets.

Pros

Growth story, strong positioning in the Cloud and data center space, has good solid, bright smart people, a lot of them sticking around for the growth/stock appreciation.

Cons

Too many C-Level executives for this size, spend a lot of time competing against each other. Net result is layers of people doing "busy work". Too many networking people in the DNA of the company to let new technologies come to fruit.

As a leader of the IT organization, I challenge you to “Speak Up” and influence the type of change you want to see in the organization. Since I don’t always have visibility at all levels in the organization, I empower - and expect - my leadership team to question and defend against work that has minimal impact or will not scale. I take my responsibility as a leader in this organization seriously and as such I take your comments seriously. I welcome direct feedback and the opportunity to have a conversation with you about what I, and my peers, can do differently since perception is as important as reality. Please email me directly if you are open to discussing further. I can be reached at blillie@equinix.com. Finally, while I appreciate your advice to management, I feel we have a very strong executive management team who care very deeply for the company and for each other. I am sorry you see differently, but as a member of the C-suite I see how hard my talented teammates work to put ego and persona aside for the benefit of the company. Again, feel free to send me an email if you’d like to chat more about this.
