Equinix finalizes MainOne integration, employees get new contracts and pay bump
- Equinix completed the integration of MainOne after a $320 million acquisition.
- Employees received new contracts with pay increases that were less significant than expected.
- Integration took nearly two years due to workload migration challenges.
The successful integration of MainOne by Equinix marks a significant step in strengthening its foothold in the African data center market. However, the concerns raised by employees regarding pay packages highlight the need for better communication and alignment of expectations during such transitions. Overall, Equinix's expansion plans seem promising, but they must navigate employee satisfaction and competitive pressures effectively.
