In the competitive world of technology sales, finding a company that aligns with your value and offers a supportive work environment can be a challenge. 

At Equinix, we provide a distinct experience that sets us apart from other tech companies. Our enriching company culture, emphasizing collaboration and innovation, makes us a preferred choice of sales account executives looking to thrive in a dynamic and supportive environment.  

We had an interesting conversation with Michael Roberts—a sales account executive with 15 years of tech industry experience—where he shared what compelled him to join Equinix.

Empowered to succeed. 

“What stood out to me was undoubtedly Equinix's culture,” commented Michael. He had heard great things about our culture of collaboration, innovation and community building from his brother-in-law, who has worked with Equinix for seven years.  

Speaking about his own experience, Mike added, “Equinix fosters an environment where sales professionals have access to senior executives and are encouraged to provide feedback and contribute new ideas. This openness to employees’ input is unique and empowers account executives to make a real impact on the company's direction.”  

Michael’s previous tenure was with a leading SaaS company that has highly competitive sales teams with limited regional cross-collaboration. But at Equinix, it is all about teamwork. We strive to create a conducive environment where individuals can thrive, do their best work, and feel proud of the difference they make. Open communication that builds trust, understanding and accountability is central to our culture.

“I have access to everyone, from executives to colleagues who are willing to listen, share knowledge, and collaborate globally. Success is not overwhelmed by excessive grind at Equinix. While hard work and dedication are valued, the company also emphasizes a balanced and fulfilling work experience”, added Michael.

Creating real-world impact 

Michael continued, “Equinix’s impact on the industry is another aspect that strongly appealed to me. For example, Equinix works closely with leading automotive companies to expand their network, leveraging its extensive points of presence (PoP) to support their growth. This level of impact and the opportunities to work with industry leaders make Equinix an exciting place to work for.”

As the world’s digital infrastructure company with a network of 260+ high-performance data centers, we interconnect industry-leading organizations in finance, manufacturing, retail, transportation, government, healthcare, education, and many more across a digital first world.
