Pros

- Beautiful office right by the water - Decent benefits - Nice coworkers - Good work life balance - Job is very secure unless something happens that makes data centers obsolete (unlikely)

Cons

Perhaps because Equinix has such a powerful competitive moat around its core business, they have little motivation to build a competent marketing group. Leadership in marketing has no vision, leadership capabilities, or inspirational qualities. All they do is fight amongst themselves, make poor decisions, discuss fashion choices and hire bad people. The brightest and most ambitious people have moved on and all that's left is people who are only sticking it out because of the stock price and to have a steady paycheck until they find something else. There's no upward mobility, their technology systems are broken and old, and you will spend years of your life here with have nothing to show for it when you interview at your next job. Stay away.
