Pros

The few remaining experienced FTEs are great to work with.

Cons

It will be difficult for this review to be seen with the plethora of "great place to work" and "awesome work-life balance" reviews entered by Equifax themselves. Although Glassdoor does not allow employers to change reviews, they have not worked out a way to prevent spamming reviews to keep the ratings up. This is a review from an actual employee that will probably be buried under the HR ones. Equifax was a decent enough company before the breach. We had issues like any other company, but it was a good place to work. Then came Bryson Koehler, the visionary from The Weather Channel, who would revolutionize everything. Fast forward a couple of years... He has indeed made his mark on the company. Under his brilliant leadership, we now have a work-life balance, in that you work double time most of the year and then get a much-needed break from work when the yearly layoffs come around. His gentle messages explaining why no raises can be given warms my heart since I assume he is also forgoing any additional compensation. It is hard to imagine him having to scrape by another year on a mere $3 million yearly compensation. I would be remiss if I didn't bring up the inclusivity. All the photoshoots with him dancing at Diwalli, or standing momentarily by a person of color are inspiring. I, for one, can never forget his inspiring speech at our Woman's Day event when he explained that women are great at being moms. (Yeah, that happened) For anyone that missed the hints of sarcasm, please, do yourself a favor and do not apply for any positions at Equifax.

Pros

Good salary and good bonuses

Cons

No work life balance and horrible senior management. Once the new Sr mgmt came into Workforce Solutions they have totally destroyed the morale of such good people. You were constantly working under threatening environment and no positive feedback. This Sr Mgmt won’t take responsibility for anything when a customer was dissatisfied but instead blame the workers who couldn’t control things. Let hundreds of incredibly talented individuals go. This Sr mgmt could care less about the customers needs it all had to be their way.

Pros

I don't work for them anymore.

Cons

My company was acquired by Equifax in August, 2016. We were a mid-sized, privately-held business specializing in unemployment claims and tax management with a reputation for providing excellent client service. I knew we were in trouble when, at our very first meeting with the “new bosses,” we were told, in no uncertain terms, that the goal at Equifax was “make money for our investors,” which they made us repeat, at an ever-higher volume, three times. If this sounds to you like a recipe for client and employee disaster, I will not disabuse you of that notion. Over the next two years, business went from bad to worse, especially after the easily-preventable security breach in September, 2017. Some of our biggest clients did not want to work with Equifax from the beginning, because they had worked with them previously, After the breach, that number began to grow. It climbed even higher after we were “onboarded” into Equifax’s way of conducting business, which is to put customer service at the bottom of the list. This little saga ends on November 14, 2018, when three Equifax higher-ups walked into our office and announced they were closing the company, giving us one hour to collect our personal possessions and leave. To add insult to injury, the boxes they claimed they ordered to pack our things were never delivered. Bottom line: If you wish to work for a company that puts the client last, treats their employees like numbers on a spreadsheet and doesn’t have the competency to have an order of boxes delivered on a given date, then Equifax is the company for you.
