Pros

Equinix's internship program is an exceptional learning experience, offering me hands-on exposure to cutting-edge technologies in a collaborative and supportive environment. Interns work alongside industry experts, gaining valuable insights into the data center and cloud services industry. The program emphasizes professional growth through mentorship, skill-building workshops, and real-world projects. Equinix fosters an inclusive culture, ensuring interns feel valued and empowered. It's a fantastic opportunity to kickstart a career in tech innovation.

Cons

Maybe they provide not enough opportunities for my personal growth due to the short term contract.

Pros

as per me, there is no pros

Cons

There are a lot of cons I even can not list out in this box. But if you are reading this review, you should not join this company at any cost. So much of negative vibe in Bangalore office. Senior directors in Bangalore office are spoiling the culture and the company is left with no work ethics.
