Acknowledgment , Change, & Growth - Sales Engineer Equinix Employee Review

Thank you for this post. Although I am pleased to see that you, like myself, find Equinix to be a place where wonderful friendships and connections are made, I found your perspective on your work environment troubling and disappointing. Equinix is committed to creating a workplace culture where every employee feels confident in saying “I’m safe, I belong, and I matter.” Our new CEO, Charles Meyers launched this company value statement last year, and our Chief Sales Officer, Mike Campbell and I are deeply committed to making this a priority in our organization as well. That commitment has been demonstrated in actionable work and this year Equinix made several hires and promotions of female leaders. Equinix has also expanded training and awareness programs for managers and employees around unconscious bias, inclusivity and what it means to “belong” at Equinix. The Equinix Women’s Leaders Network has scaled to continue to grow global programs and activities for employees. In addition, we responded to employee feedback by officially launching the Equinix Pride Connect resource group to provide LGBTQ employees and their allies a place to connect, learn and grow together. That said, it is no secret that the tech industry still has a long way to go in diversifying organizations – especially across those areas that require more technical skills. At Equinix, we too are on this journey. As my team and I strategize about how to grow and scale to meet the business needs of our customers, we will continue to work with HR to help us build teams that are diverse and inclusive. I appreciate your candor around this important and sensitive issue, and I am sorry we did not have a conversation prior to your departure. I will do my best to represent your sentiment with my team and I wish you the best in your next opportunity. Sincerely, Dale Konrad VP, Global Sales Engineering
