Pros

Management is more diverse at the lower levels, though less so at the higher levels. The work force is diverse. Equifax strives to be accurate and fair, which is commendable since it, Trans Union and Experian are pretty much the only players in their field. Building and information security are vigilant and they do a good job of training the workers to be that way, too, because so much of what is done there involves sensitive materials. They do a good job of recognizing good work.

Cons

Meetings are inefficient. More time is spent jockeying for meeting rooms than probably should be. Like any overly corporate atmosphere, a lot of what you see is posturing -- managers calling a meeting for the sake of calling a meeting, endlessly cc-ing as many people on emails as possible, so as to seem more important by the breadth of your audience. They are not encouraged to be overly imaginative, and you won't move up if you don't sing the company line on the correct beat. Training can be hit or miss. Computers are slighhtly out of date (they still use unsupported IE, for crying out loud). If you sacrifice for the good of the team, your good deed will not go unpunished by rigidly by-the-book unimaginative managers.

Easy and straightforward application process. Seamless hiring experience with excellent communication throughout. Positive, supportive company culture that makes new employees feel welcome from day one.

There is a learning curve when adapting to Google workspace, but the company provides plenty of training resources and support to help new employees get up to speed.

Pros

My direct manager. Comp plan if you’re lucky enough to find several whale clients, and if you’re lucky, the commission is approved.

Cons

There are a lot. First, office politics. Equifax expects employees to be very corporate and robotic. Metrics metrics metrics. 100% focused on revenue, not customers. Metrics, metrics, metrics. PIP overuse. Even when you’re 150% to yearly plan 6mo in, they expect 300%. Make sure to keep receipts. Senior management will find the most ridiculous ways to push reps out, continently right before a huge payout of a very delayed commission plan. (Sell something in Jan 2025, you will only get a fraction of commission until June 26). That’s if the exception committee approves payout (which never happens). If you sell a big deal, don’t expect to get paid 100% of what the plan says.
