Stock options and bonuses. Stock keeps going up

I get a lot of money

Medical, stock, bonus , office environment

Bonus program can be lucrative

RSU's are the best part of my package

RSUs are excellent and competitivez

My basic salary is double most companies and my bonus has been more than 100% every year as the company does so well. Unexpected stock grants are a plus on top of that.

Stock/RSU let employees benefit from company success

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

The amount of work is very high that it is hard to have work-life balance. Expectations are too high but number of resources are limited. The compensation should have increased significantly in last cycle (through promotion).

Training, being invested in, it's not about money its about actually wanting to help me to be able to do my job instead of getting by, no one k ow what they should do if anything goes wrong

A new job would make me feel better

Pay is lower and job requirements grow faster than compensation

Culture at Equinix again differs from team to team. Even though at a high-level Equinix might hold great values, however, it may not always be true at your team level. My team is great, I love working with them, however, i often feel there is a lack of appreciation and recognition from managers.

When you look to the market, base salary is high at most similar companies and firms. We don’t account for what employees can do but rather the beurocratic way of looking at years of experience. If we pay the top works in the top 10 % regardless of years of experience, I think it would help.
