Pros

The people who do the day to day work to keep the wheels turning and the lights on are highly conscientious and hard working. Good people doing good work and generally enjoying the daily challenges. The company is growing and people are generally upbeat and optimistic about the future. Equifax respects your personal time and doesn't expect you to work on weekends or demand crazy overtime hours to demonstrate commitment. The culture is pretty much a 9-5 mindset. The parking lots are empty before 8 and after 5. CEO is one of the best. when it comes to laying out a vision and a strategy. You can't argue with his success and what he's done for shareholders over the last 10 years. He's also a good person, which is rare when it comes to CEOs. The only knock against him would be that he's not a good judge of talent. He's hired some duds and keeps non-performing poor leaders around way too long.

Cons

There is little or no opportunity for promotion beyond the VP level. Executive level politics are horrible, and although they talk about a "meritocracy", it's just a sound bite. Promotions are awarded more like a beauty contest than based on performance. Compensation is below average. If you stay longer than 3 years you get left behind on your compensation and they hire new people in at much higher salary levels. Also, the disparity in pay between the Senior Leadership Team and the rest of the company is HUGE. Benefits package is expensive and keeps getting more expensive every year as the company pushes more of the cost down to the employees.

Pros

Equifax provides good benefits with the possibility of expanding or learning other areas of the business through the many departments that they have.

Cons

Often times, too many individuals are involved in decision making which paralyzes or bogs own the process. Also, as is typical with large companies, there are many personal tracking and performance assessments to complete throughout the year.
