Pros

Absolutely no pros. Glassdoor does not let me post without a pros section. So let me mention: 1) Per diem is taxable unless you submit bills but nobody might tell you - be careful. Atleast they give per diem - even though they deduct 20%-30% extra tax on it once you are back. 2) Health insurance exists. 3) Your driving skills will improve as every morning you will face Bangalore traffic and then circle around to try to find a parking place for yourself. 4) You don't need an ID card - it is a BFSI company where the ID machine does not work!

Cons

1) Bonus not paid on time. 2) Appraisal does not happen on time. 3) Offer letters are given out and withdrawn on the whim of managers. So if you get an offer letter and are hoping to join Equifax, then be careful. 4) Designation might be changed just before you join. You might get downgraded from Senior Consultant to Consultant. 5) There is no management. 6) There is no retention policy. 7) Office does not have parking, coffee machine. 8) Focus is on coming to office on time, and not the kind of work that gets done. 9) There are two teams - India business & Coe(US business). COE is a dead end. India business is suicide. Even then DONOT JOIN CoE - India business might atleast give you decent hikes and promotions. 10) There is no leadership. There were a few good leaders, they have left. Senior leadership might be good (no comments there) but middle management is rotten. 11) Work will not get done, so expect people to play a blame game here. 12) Do not expect managers to guide in you anything technical. 13) Middle management is also filled up with liars. 14) Telephone lines go blank as 'airtel did not register our payment'. 15) Internet connectivity is frequently missing. Need I say more?

Pros

Zero Ghosting: Communication was super consistent and clear from start to finish. I was never left wondering. Flexible & Open: The hiring managers were genuinely open to discussing the scope of the role, rather than just handing down a rigid checklist of duties. They Stuck to the Timeline: They verbalized exactly how long the process would take and followed through perfectly. No unexpected delays or moving goalposts.

Cons

Missed the In-Person Connection: While the remote process was smooth, I would have loved the opportunity to meet some of the team in person before finalizing everything. Needed More Day-to-Day Specifics: The big-picture conversations about the role were great, but I could have used a bit more clarity and specific detail around what the actual daily routine and tasks look like.

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.
