Pros

Marketing at Equinix is viewed as a very strategic function which is unusual for a tech Silicon Valley company. CMO is active voice on strategy and also leads products team. Real can-do attitude within the team. Real fun environment where people work hard and play hard. Marketing leadership team really works to drive for best practice (and there are several areas to improve because Equinix has grown so fast that at times it feels a bit like an overblown start-up.) Culture at company is taken very seriously -- its not just about the results but also how you get them. As a result there are very few jerks (and the company tries to avoid recruiting jerks and egos).

Cons

It's hard work and the pace of change might make some people uncomfortable (however marketing attrition is very low and Equinix attrition in general is low.) The big focus on culture might make some people uncomfortable if they don't like the focus on soft skills and how you relate to people.

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!
