Pros

Great "family oriented company", people really care about you. I'm often struck by how much time is spent talking about personal life. In fact just the other day I bumped into our CEO Steve Smith in the elevator and the first thing out off his mouth once I said hello was "How was your weekend?" - The CEO asking me about my weekend? AWESOME!!! Their charitable giving program and priorities are really amazing, matching your chosen charity contributions generously and prioritizing overall corporate giving towards internet access related projects at scale to ensure that ALL of earths citizens have an opportunity to participate in the educational and global marketplace advantages the world wide web has to offer. Obviously with 52 straight quarters of quarter over quarter growth and recent admission to S&P500 the company is going really well, which provides lots of opportunity for growth!

Cons

Still a start up feel after 17 years in business. Equinix is growing very fast and working in alignment from the front line to the board to install infrastructure to ensure success at scale.

Thank you for your very thoughtful review and for sharing your personal experience working at Equinix. How wonderful that you had a chance to meet Steve and share such a great moment in the elevator. We are thrilled to hear that you are taking advantage of some of the great Equinix Impact programs like the Equinix Impact Exchange, where the company will match your donations.

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!
