Pros

-As a rule of thumb, if you are looking for " very relaxed 9-5 ;) " work or you are graduate, go for it. If you are not in early stage of you career, want to work and serious about you career as a software engineer you should avoid this place. -Generally nice colleagues and easy going management in Dublin

Cons

- Way below market salary and even they do their best to lowball you - All decisions (even simple technical) are made in Atlanta. - Lots of empty cooperate talk. - Too much politics. Constant game of thrones in Atlanta - They claim to be Agile but it is not used to improve process. Lots of action item after retrospective meeting but no result (similar to their projects/products). Looks like Agile for them is a way to silently micro-manage employee. - very limited career growth

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.
