Pros

The wage are market competitive

Cons

Don't respect work/life balance. Too much politics. Management is weak in Operations. Advancement opportunities are very limited and hard work will not help you. Advancement seems based on who you know and cosy up to rather than good skills. Favortism exists.

Thanks for your review and willingness to share some feedback with us. One of the challenges of owning and operating a 24-7 environment that continues to provide 99.9999% uptime to our customers is balancing schedules and workloads. If you are unable to perform the responsibilities of your current shift, please contact your supervisor or Human Resources Business Partner to discuss any issues with your schedule. When seeking advancement opportunities, we hope you will take advantage of Career Pathways, a program that went live in Operations about a year ago and helps employees navigate advancement opportunities, including the skills needed to advance in their roles. If you have not already done so, you are encouraged to discuss this with your manager during Quarterly Conversations.

Thank you for writing a review and sharing a couple of your thoughts with us. We are glad to hear you are happy with your compensation, benefits and schedule. If you are still seeking hands-on training, be sure to speak directly with your manager, as employees in New York have quite a few training opportunities available to them, in a classroom setting, conducted by Global Operations, and/or online through the Equinix Learning Exchange (ELE). We strongly encourage you to own your own career and bring any requests for work-related certifications to management. Employee growth and advancement are very important to us at Equinix, and the perfect topics for your next quarterly conversation with your manager.

Pros

Company is very successful and positioned to do well for at least 5 years plus. People are really nice and treat each other with respect and kindness. Not sure if that is true up the ladder of managerial status.

Cons

Marketing organization has a low key vibe that is boring. Work is done only at your level - so it's not a big melting pot of cross functional exposure and ideas. It's a very hierarchical organization - you don't really work with anyone above your "rank".

Thanks for taking the time to write a review and share your thoughts with us. We are glad to hear that you are both enjoying your coworkers and feeling good about how Equinix is positioned in the market. We are sorry to hear you are less than satisfied with your experience in the Marketing organization. We try to make time with team members from all levels, sometimes through informal gatherings (e.g. celebrating team birthdays every month, and “drinks and mingles” when leadership is in town), and other times through more formal all-hands meetings, roundtables, and cross-functional initiative work with participation from managers and individual contributors. We encourage you to participate in these events. If you have other ideas and don’t feel like you have a venue to share them, please contact me directly as I would be happy to continue the conversation offline. —Sara Baack, Chief Marketing Officer
