Vantaggi

Salary and stock are great for some jobs. There are also a lot of talented, fun people who work hard and care about their performance. If you are on the right project the work can be challenging and you could travel for fun events.

Svantaggi

The management team is a nightmare. Leadership is asleep at the wheel, doesn't weed out problem managers, lets bad behavior fester. VPs are running functions with no experience in the kind of marketing they do. Bean counters and introverts don't inspire creativity and passion. Most managers are also totally uninterested in the well being of the people who report to them, are more worried about politics and their own best interests. If things get bad, managers will throw you under the bus to save their own necks. I've seen some really incompetent managers keep their job year after year and good, experienced people marginalized if they aren't spending time stroking the right egos. No one can get ahead if they are below director level. Do not come to Equinix if you are good and want to advance in your career, as you will never get promoted. If you are less competent and good at politics, know someone on the inside, and willing to brown nose every day then you might end up in a great job that you are not qualified for, and you will have job security for life. I know very few people who are truly happy in their job in marketing, which is a shame, since most of us deserve better.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I am happy to hear you speak so highly of your colleagues, but—obviously—disappointed (and pained) to hear you express so much unhappiness with your experience in the Marketing organization. As “keep growing” is a value that means a lot to us at Equinix and me personally, it is especially hard to hear that you feel advancement is out of reach for certain positions. A significant percentage of our current employees received internal promotions through our annual cycle this year. In addition, the company overall began rolling out the Career Pathways program this year in order to deliver global consistency for career development, create multiple career paths for employee growth, and give tools for employees and managers to have meaningful career development conversations. We are currently in the process of bringing this framework to the Marketing organization to supplement our own departmental program called “Marketing on the Move,” that supports team members who might be interested in trying something new. Another value that we take very seriously at Equinix is “speak up, step up,” and I encourage anyone who feels unheard to please contact me directly as I would be happy to continue the conversation with you personally. —Sara Baack, Chief Marketing Officer
