Pros

The wage are market competitive

Cons

Don't respect work/life balance. Too much politics. Management is weak in Operations. Advancement opportunities are very limited and hard work will not help you. Advancement seems based on who you know and cosy up to rather than good skills. Favortism exists.

Thanks for your review and willingness to share some feedback with us. One of the challenges of owning and operating a 24-7 environment that continues to provide 99.9999% uptime to our customers is balancing schedules and workloads. If you are unable to perform the responsibilities of your current shift, please contact your supervisor or Human Resources Business Partner to discuss any issues with your schedule. When seeking advancement opportunities, we hope you will take advantage of Career Pathways, a program that went live in Operations about a year ago and helps employees navigate advancement opportunities, including the skills needed to advance in their roles. If you have not already done so, you are encouraged to discuss this with your manager during Quarterly Conversations.

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!
