Pros

A vast array of high-end hardware and software technologies Well positioned in the information markets - for consumer and small business Quite innovative in their usage of technology, creation of new markets, and creation of new products Strong financial position - cash and assets. They have a good operating margin. They have strong operations around the globe, the US of course, but also Latin America and Europe

Cons

Very hierarchical, not collaborative Finance, purchasing, and legal constrains organizational agility and delivery of quick business results through slow, bureaucratic processes - even though they have integrated ERP systems Outsources every position possible - your job may be next

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.
