Pros

Good work to life balance, good working environment, company is growing rapidly so job stability seems certain. Training at Equinix goes as much as you're willing to learn, there is always something new to learn every day and good opportunities to grow with the company.

Cons

Lack of Manpower, Lack of overtime pay. Some days the workload calls for more than a given 8 hour day and the company is very reluctant to pay that overtime.
