Pros

Pre-security incident culture was positive and supportive. Interesting problems to solve with unique in-house and third party data solutions.

Cons

The data breach in Sept. 2017 significantly impacted financial results, and many smart, positive employees left. Most development activity was then focused on security remediation - making it very difficult to develop net new products. This created a frustrated environment; management talent drain + no development resources to build and test new items = frustration and accountability without ability to get things done.

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.
