Pros

Mostly great co-workers Flexible hybrid model Strong stock performance

Cons

Toxic politics Very limited career growth Poor executive management At one point, the motto at Equinix was "I'm safe, I belong, I matter." No longer so, and it's demonstrated every day with longtime employees getting axed unceremoniously, and good, hard-working people getting isolated or ostracized if they are not towing the party line. Lots of turnover at all levels of the company. Every new senior executive wants to make their mark, which means a shift in direction in big-bet projects, causing them to have to start from square one, and then the leadership team wonders why we can't ever make progress. I had high hopes for Adaire; directionally, her strategy for the company is good, but something about the way she manages her team creates chaos and toxicity when it trickles down to the working levels.
