Equity Residential reviews

Wow - thanks so much for your review! It sounds like you had an awesome 8 years with us; we thank you for your dedication and hard work. We couldn’t agree more about the great people here - as well as the rest of your comments about the support system, excellent benefits, and the opportunities to be promoted from within. As for your list of cons - you said it perfectly, this industry is not for everyone. Managing your own expectations on the way in is critical, as is aligning yourself with a mentor and a support network, and knowing when to call it a day and disconnect. As an employer, we encourage work/life balance, but as you said, that ownership falls on the individual as well. Thanks again for your 5 stars as well as your 8 years - we wish you all the best.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad that you connected with your coworkers and your direct manager, and that you felt and identified with our “10 Ways” culture. However, we are sorry to hear your thoughts on senior leadership and the larger corporate culture. We carefully review compensation packages every year to ensure that our ranges are competitive within the industry. We also opened up our transfer and promotion policy a couple of years ago, removing any barriers such as minimum time in position and opting to make promotion decisions solely based on performance and potential. We developed our Accelerate program this year to better prepare individuals for management positions. We hope that you took advantage of the opportunity to do an exit interview; if not, please feel free to contact Human Resources at 202-971-7088.
