Pros

Good stock, aligned with the market rate. Amazing teams' of friendly co-workers.

Cons

Low salary, not competitive at all with the Swedish market and as a result people leave.(The entire team which I am part of, get recycled every 2 years) No work life balance. Magic of Equinix culture is an empty promise. Lots of people talk about it but unfortunately many don't walk the talk particularly in middle management.Leadership thinks they have a great culture but it is an insiders club for them only.Poor management and some people resistant to change. High performers are constantly punished with more work and no rewards. The biggest disadvantage you can have in this company is to be a high-performing middle-level employee. You will never move up, but only burn out.

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!
