Equinix Reviews

Pros

Equinix provides an environment that allows employees to learn and grow in a culture that promotes cooperation and innovation. Often vendors working with us are quick to say, "we have never worked with a company like this -- you really know what you are doing and internally you have great coordination between teams". I have been here 10+ years and am proud to see the early, entrepreneurial spirit of Equinix continue. We see efforts from the CEO down to promote and preserve our unique culture. In recent years we have developed Equinix Employee Connection Networks (EECNs), groups built around identities and communities that are underrepresented at Equinix or those that have faced historical discrimination or share unique challenges. These EECNs are open to everyone at Equinix, including allies. Everyone at Equinix is invited to connect annually through our Days or Understanding, a 24-hour, around-the-globe event where employees come together to share, listen and build trust.

Cons

There really are not any.

Pros

Everyday Work culture is amazing!

Cons

Night shift can be difficult to adjust

Pros

Disclaimer: I work in corporate Operations, not in our datacenters (IBXs). There seem to be significant differences in expectations and culture between the two. * Pay is fair * Benefits are incredibly good * Company culture (in corporate) is really healthy, though it depends on your manager. Up to the executive level, there's an open door policy, and most of the executives are friendly and willing to talk * HR practices are steadily improving * Hybrid work is encouraged, as of spring 2023. No requirements to work in-office more than 1-2 days a week. * Employee resource groups are very active and employees are encouraged to participate * Plenty of recognition for good work * Excellent internal mobility opportunities

Cons

* Most of the corporate offices are open floorplans, which can make it hard to focus in office. * HR practices for people with disabilities aren't great, though they're very actively working on making things more accessible and inclusive across the company. * Pay is lower than competitors, especially in Operations * Operations and Corporate are quite siloed and I've heard from a lot of the datacenter employees that they feel ignored/undervalued by Corporate

Cons

While the company and teams continue to make leaps and bounds in improvements, there can be at times challenges when it comes to manual processes and can hinder efficiency. Still the objective being to do things and the correct way so these things can take time. There are several internal tools for promoting employee feedback to share such challenges that have the eye of leadership for continued improvement on process.

Pros

Listen to employees great company

Cons

None to say at this moment

Pros

Solid pay and RSUs, great industry and position within it, has money to spend, remains customer-focused even as it scales, draws some truly smart and effective coworkers, solid financial leadership, great employee giving match and social responsibility efforts.

Cons

Politics, maneuvering, overwork, inability to prioritize work at an enterprise level, vastly varying employee experiences, unresponsive HR services team, slow launch of integrated IT tools, 'popularity contest' culture, disparate policies by region. Has a good start on DEI (DIB), but with no true equity-based recruiting plan, progress stalls.
