Pros

Started off as great 6 years ago went from CTE to FTE . Great leaders like Wendy Carpenter, Priya and others are gone and people left behind are getting more fed up, there is more around identity than capabilities being pushed

Cons

1 - problem is that more people that types that were deservedly fired after the breach have now come back as M&A (Kount/9 other companies) and more HP mindset flunkies who bring the same problems 2 - THEY DO NOT CARE about workloads and only seek to buy more M&A's to not show that they can't solution things and more problems are growing. 3 - Best resources with institutional knowledge are leaving with more people having to pick up slack - D&A, Data, Analytics, Data Fabric, Interconnect, Security, IDF are all gutted with only the "Yes" people who don't report problems remaining. 4- Current Management in most all groups especially USIS WILL SHOOT THE MESSENGER so be prepared for it 5 - NADA in BONUSES - days of 20k avg bonuses are gone past year 6 - More interpersonal politics are increasing and less real solutions 7 - The plan by reverse action - deliver by dates instead of functions and solutions, bad way to plan first by a date is insane.

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.
