Pros

Some smart people working in the marketing team

Cons

Probably the worst company I’ve worked for thus far in my career. Very process and policy heavy, and definitely feels like a big corporate. They were flexible on wfh but recent changes mean the company is dictating specific days in the office which has brought the mood and culture down significantly and leadership don’t seem to care about these impacts. Even people who live far from the office are being forced to come in. But when you do work from the office there’s no equipment setup properly, and you can’t get a desk or meeting room. Maybe when they move office later this year that will improve? They recently started to give employees the benefit of a 9 day fortnight trial, but then removed it within 2 weeks without giving a real reason. Feels as though there’s a lack of trust by leadership in teams. A lot of the products are clunky and it feels as though clients use them because of a lack of options within the market. Redundancies, restructures, and budget has been cut to almost nothing so there’s no enablement to get your job done, and pretty much no training/professional development budget either. Talk of no Xmas parties, no client spending. People who have been at the company a long time talk of this being the worst time there they can remember.

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.
