Pros

Disclaimer: I work in corporate Operations, not in our datacenters (IBXs). There seem to be significant differences in expectations and culture between the two. * Pay is fair * Benefits are incredibly good * Company culture (in corporate) is really healthy, though it depends on your manager. Up to the executive level, there's an open door policy, and most of the executives are friendly and willing to talk * HR practices are steadily improving * Hybrid work is encouraged, as of spring 2023. No requirements to work in-office more than 1-2 days a week. * Employee resource groups are very active and employees are encouraged to participate * Plenty of recognition for good work * Excellent internal mobility opportunities

Cons

* Most of the corporate offices are open floorplans, which can make it hard to focus in office. * HR practices for people with disabilities aren't great, though they're very actively working on making things more accessible and inclusive across the company. * Pay is lower than competitors, especially in Operations * Operations and Corporate are quite siloed and I've heard from a lot of the datacenter employees that they feel ignored/undervalued by Corporate

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!
