Pros

Equinix is the best kept secret in the Silicon Valley. The leadership of this company is beyond compare. They are visionary, yet approachable and friendly. The CEO is incredible and very down to earth. The company fosters a very friendly, community environment, and it's full of smart, driven people. At the same time, there is a decent work/life balance (for the Bay Area). The executive leadership listens to employees and makes changes accordingly. Finally, the company is definitely headed in the right direction, which affects the stock price and their ability to compensate their employees well.

Cons

Some typical process and systems growing pains. Non performers rarely get weeded out.

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!
