Pros

It may be better than being unemployed.

Cons

It feels like a bad dream where you can't wake up. In the beginning, I was willing to give the new CEO the benefit of the doubt, but he has been told time and again about how this BU is run and has allowed the bullies in charge to continue. The company has been run into the ground in order to meet the $1B in revenue goal. They will likely reach it, and then the decisions they have made will likely catch up with them. Before Equifax took over, this company was a leader in the industry. Within a couple of years, they will likely not even be a contender. They have either run off or fired most of the employees who know what's going on. They have already had over 100% turnover from the top "talent" they brought in a couple of years ago to shake things up. They got rid of a team of amazing leaders and have replaced them with inexperienced "yes" people who won't question the mismanagement mess that is currently in place. The ridiculous quotas and goals being set up by the new management prove they know nothing about how this business is run. It's heartbreaking for anyone who ever cared about this company.

Pros

I grew up professionally with Equifax. There are some great and very smart people in the company. Very creative with data and a great approach to solving market problems.

Cons

Lacks diversity in senior leadership, and Workforce Solutions, in particular, lack the ability to embrace the diversity of thought and cultural differences at the senior leadership level. This was not the experience prior to 2017. It was ultimately my reason for leaving. Although the pay was not equitable mainly due to my tenure, I stayed because of the smart people and great products. However, leaving was in large due to the shift in the culture.
