Pros

Good work-life balance. Solid pay with significant RSU awards. There are pockets where you get to work with good, smart people.

Cons

We all had high hopes for Adaire. We all were rooting for her. Look, the culture before Adaire wasn’t perfect. There were a lot politics at play and there definitely was some cleaning up to do, but we still felt like we were working for a winning company that continued to deliver results and didn’t treat us like a number. In the last year, that has all changed. The strategy seems to be simple. Cut as many headcount as possible without impacting the revenue. We now are all a number and worry weekly that we could be on the chopping block next. The most vulnerable are SVP’s and above. They all have a target on their back since so many have been shown the door and replaced. When you have every executive in the company running scared, it just cascades down the ranks.

Pros

Great people in various internal roles.

Cons

CRO and Senior leadership failed with execution of their CS REORGANIZATION! They laid off exceptional and tenured talent who were either not replaced or new job requisitions filled with external candidates. Upon making internal employees aware of layoffs, they did so in such a callous manner with complete disregard for humanity. It was literally appalling and disgusting! The ‘Magic of Equinix’ (I belong. I matter. I feel safe.) is no longer present and hasn’t been for over two years. No work life balance. Everyone is just a number so why be an over achiever in such an awful space. Morale is lower than ever!
