Pros

Great products with some being very niche, Lots of learning; Thankfully new management from the US is breaking into the lobby in ANZ and trying to bring about positive change in management and hopefully things may change

Cons

Frequent change in management and leadership, Firing and hiring almost every year since more than 6 years. No planning whatsoever while making redundancies( e.g. critical resources, high performing resource or high compensation ). Straightaway reduce x number of staff to reduce liability. Later when customers and projects start getting affected due to lower support capacity they end up hiring the same number of resources again; Poor management; Non-transparent standards of hiring and promoting staff : Almost everyone you meet is a head of some department and there are redundant roles across the org structure; Massive layer of heads/GMs with fairly low accountability, while the actual doers are low in numbers and end up getting overburdened. Less qualified staff (no management degrees) get promoted fairly quickly based on their networking skills and their ability to story tell rather than deliver, while those with credentials such as CFAs are left behind! Constant acquisitions and mergers of newer products and companies while the existing product strategy is not defined (redundant products). Good staff is leaving the organization, leaving behind the residue who don't want to perform

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.
