Thanks for your review. We appreciate your positive outlook and willingness to share feedback with us. We hope you are joking about your manager not knowing your name or what you are working on. If not, you should reach out to your manager today to schedule your Quarterly Conversation. These conversations between managers and employees should be taking place (at least) four times a year to establish clear goals, and provide an opportunity for ongoing growth and development, and to help drive performance.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and provide your feedback. I am sorry to hear that your experience interacting with your HR colleagues has not been a positive one. I can assure you that providing clarity of information/support and being responsive to all our employees are two things that are important to us at Equinix and certainly what we strive to consistently deliver across the HR function. To enable us to address any gaps and find a better way, I encourage you to talk with your manager and your HR Advisor/Business Partner to share your specific concerns and suggestions. If after taking these steps you are still feeling the need for clarity and/or detail, I welcome you to reach out to me directly so we can talk through your feedback.
