Pros

The people are generally nice and helpful. I didn’t mind the building and North Sydney location. Quite inclusive culture. I made a lot of long term friends here, it’s a great company to build a network. Social events are inclusive and fun. Loved the Christmas parties over the years. Celebrate Diwali, CNY, pride etc. Loved my manager - bit of a mix in leadership styles here but mine was fantastic I was very lucky. Really great sales training eg Spin and miller heiman. Diverse product set, so lots going on covering a broad market spread.

Cons

Hard to make progress, get things done, etc. Slow. A lot of good initiatives aren’t funded. Lots of dead wood in the company. Constantly making redundancies which affects morale. Sometimes really talented people too which is a shame. Complexity of the business and the aspects of the markets they’re trying to service means that sometimes there’s a lack of focus. Or funding only goes to certain initiatives and BUs and other product lines fall behind the market. Increasing competitive pressure. No true product innovation in years (since EFX acquired Veda).

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.
