Pros

Pay is very competitive, work times are flexible, people are very friendly in general, very diverse and welcoming of all backgrounds and orientations, great for pre-retirement.

Cons

Slow moving, traditional, consensus-based leadership, not good if looking for cutting edge tech, confusing hierarchy and reporting structures.

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!
