Pros

Decent work life balance overall in the company (some big exceptions). The pay is good not great, but bonuses have been great in my experience. Diverse for what it is (IT is IT). Tech stacks are generally good. Lots of cloud work.

Cons

Lots of red tape and very process heavy, though to be fair this is to be expected given the type of data and history of company. The company is also pretty old school and feels very corporate. Lots of reorgs which make it hard to drive the direction of your career. Very heavy emphasis on security as it should be, but because of this, whatever used to work yesterday might not work today due to some random update/patch in another department. Sub par vacation/benefits and takes 10 years to get more days.

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.
