      Company has lot of good people which makes it pleasurable to work, but IT is just the wrong place to be working at.

      Pros

      Good benefits, good pay package, nice hard working people, growing company with global presence.

      Cons

      IT is like a sweatshop, where people are expected to hangon late (like beyond 7pm) even on fridays and even if there is no ciritcal or time sensitive work, coming after 9 AM is questioned, spending 40 hours is considered 'not working hard', people are being monitored when they enter or exit office building. Team members steal others idea and it is encouraged. Hard working and sincere people get sidelined and incompetents reap all the benefits.

      Pros

      Small enough to be able to get things done. Market leader. A decent product and once you had customers they were generally there to stay.

      Cons

      - growing pains - global integration not quite there - portal for customers is a dog - too many sales people given the market size - not mac friendly in general

      Equinix - solid company; could use some fixes to make it a truly great place

      Pros

      Very good people, some politics but healthy business means people are generally in good mood and helpful to eachother; people believe and are excited about the company for the most part; the company appears to have very good momentum and an opportunity to be a leader in the industry Best treated groups: Sales - definitely a sales oriented culture -- these people get really treated well Legal - this group enjoys very good quality of life for they pay they make Marketing - has among the best salaries and titles for the quality of people (though they do not appear to be widely respected within the company)

      Cons

      rapid growth means some teams are hiring too quickly and quality of staff is not consistent across teams (sometimes people are overqualified or underqualified for the title they're hired in at); quality of life and compensation are not always fair across groups; company is very collegiate and favors "getting along" and there is a little bit of a "get on the bus or get off the bus" attitude that makes it hard to give open feedback Finance - works among the longest hours and like many finance organizations the culture is work hard and grin and bear it Operations - the key to the company but the leadership in this team rules with a very heavy handed approach and does not encourage going outside of the group and sharing group "secrets" with others
