Pros

During the interview process I would ask everyone, "Why Equinix?". The common answer was the people and the culture and they could not be more correct. Everyone from recruiting, interviewing, on boarding and the departments I deal with on a daily basis make this statement true. Polite, courteous and helpful as well as go above and beyond to make you feel welcome to the company. They talk about being transparent and they are. Information is power and they believe in sharing it openly. Great work life balance and offsite events are planned for employees to know that they are valued. The CEO and the executive team are visible, accessible and provide frequent communications.

Cons

I have not found any yet and don't expect to!!

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.
