Pros

Stock Services is a highly respected group within Equinix and employees love our RSU and ESPP programs. We have a great team of business partners to work with from Tax to Legal to HR and Payroll. Standards are high but hard work is rewarded. We are expanding the team to 3 beyond myself as Sr. Director of the group. We endeavor to do things right the first time as error fixes tend to be painful. Our employees are very self-sufficient but we make every effort to help them out where we can. Great people and culture, an ethical tone at the top, and tremendous success in the marketplace are probably the greatest assets of the company overall.

Cons

Equinix is going through growing pains and is no doubt overloaded with growth, change, systems initiatives, and a sudden wave of M & A activity all hitting at once. It can be a little challenging to be "new" at Equinix because you have to hit the ground running and there's so much going on. Of course, these are "high class" problems in a sense because the company is doing so well, but these are challenges nonetheless.

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!
