Pros

Good Compensation Flexible Schedules Some Telecommuting Relatively good benefits Some very good people to work with Some projects allow you to work with some state of the art technology

Cons

Completely clueless senior management Silo development Extreme amount of the development is being outsourced to save money, so it is done on the cheap and we get developers who have absolutely no experience and no skills. Fully 90% of the work received from the outsourcing groups is of substandard quality to the point of being almost useless. But hey, it was cheap.

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.
