Pros

Sometime you will get bravo points (which are not that much worth but its better then nothing) you can work on few GCP services. not much pros actually.

Cons

1) Work life balance is not good. (Day started from 8: 30 and ended till 7:00 with 30 mins lunch break.) 2) there are 2 stand-ups in a day to create pressure on the employees, If you say you don't have much of an update on second stand-up you will be belittled by the PO and other managers. 3) Team doesn't collaborate since all are pressured to deliver and they end up being burnt out. 4) Manager don't care that much about you. They want there promotion. 5) limited career growth. 6) They can fire you any time. (It has happened 2 times in 3 years when people are fired randomly due to business reasons) 7) The leadership doesn't have a vision for the company, They follow what is told from the USA. (Things like which Database to use and which tech stack to use all comes from the us team.) 8) Lack of knowledge across tribe, no documentation. Project Owner known nothing about the project and behaves like a manger who want to finish the project quickly. 9) They higher management puts a deadline before even consulting the development team.(They want a project to be delivered with out bug to production in 3 months after joining) 10) They want to you work extra hours and want you to come to office 3 days and if you miss a day they will threaten to fire you. etc, etc the list never ends Moral of the story don't make the mistake which I made. choose wisely.

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.
