      Great Opportunity to Drive Change

      Pros

      Equinix continues to grow rapidly and build on its market leadership. The company has a clear vision and strategy for the next phase of its evolution. This creates an opportunity for all employees to help shape the future of Equinix and means that day-to-day initiatives and programs are about driving change. Equinix is an S&P 500 start-up. This translates to a highly successful company that values the entrepreneurial spirit and focuses on “just getting things done”. The company culture is one of building and transforming with passion and humility.

      Cons

      As Equinix evolves, it is challenged with creating strategic alignment across organizations and establishing global processes and planning. Equinix has not fully transitioned from an “aim, fire, ready” approach to “ready, aim, fire” in order to ensure achievement of the desired results and maximum impact.

      Pros

      Equinix is literally the IBM of the datacenter space....you know the saying, "no one ever lost their job for choosing IBM." The same is true of Equinix. Others may be cheaper, but Equinix is THE company in this market. It's the premier brand. Everyone else copies them. Are their more sophisticated marketing organizations overall? Sure. However that misses the point of how exciting it is to establish something truly new. Working here is a LOT of fun.

      Cons

      The work/life balance is hard. It's a real estate company at the end of the day...so they can spend huge on CAPEX, but must run with a fraction of the bodies you would find in a comparable tech company.
