Pros

Decent salary and annual bonus. Some nice people in the lower levels.

Cons

The whole new management (CEO, CIO, CISO) those guys just came into the company while everything was on flames just to make money. Those guys doesn't have the know how required and they have been focus in replacement the good people at the company for their friends. The good and smart people are leaving the company. Used to be a great company with the previous leadership, but suddenly with all the magicians that came to the company chasing money after the breach 2017 this became in a chaotic place to work.

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.
