Pros

-Financial stability/ stock price -Innovative Products -Work/life balance -Competitive compensation -401K match

Cons

I've been with Equifax for over 3 years and no glaring cons come to mind. One suggestion would be to add an employee stock purchase plan.

Pros

Total Compensation package is fair and competitive to the market; Career Opportunities are available IF you put your career in your hands - talk to your manager, network, keep an eye on the internal postings. Many employees are promoted from within; Decent benefit programs, including med/dental/vision, 401k with company match, great history of bonus payouts; High level of flexibility with work schedule, work from home opportunities and overall balance; Growing company with strong stock price

Cons

Not unlike any other company, there are some managers and some employees who tend to look out for themselves and are not willing to help others progress. The practice of "survival of the fittest" during performance management fosters this type of behavior unfortunately. At Equifax, this is known as Meritocracy and is drilled down from the CEO. Employees are vetted against each other in something called calibration and only a certain percentage are allowed to receive high ratings each year during performance reviews. It tends to force employees to work as individuals rather than as a team because the entire team cannot win in the end. A bit of a frustrating process that tends to foster mediocracy in performance as a result. No employee stock purchase plan. Somewhat low annual merit increases for majority of employees (due to meritocracy described above). Silo'ed environment in many areas where the left foot doesn't know what the right is doing.
