Pros

- Respectful culture that extends from the Executive teams all the way down. - Diversity, inclusion, sustainability and other modern issues are actually taken seriously and initiatives embraced at the highest levels. - Good pay - Decent benefits - Great market position and overall job security for good workers - Response to COVID has been genuinely great.

Cons

- This respectful culture can *sometimes* cause issues in making decisions about a direction that doesn't include all viewpoints. In trying to bring everyone's ideas to the front, it's sometimes hard to make the choice to exclude something for being incompatible. These would be things like business processes, initial focus for products and general business changes. Really not a big deal and better than the alternative in a lot of ways.

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!
