Pros

Excellent colleagues, dedicated and team oriented Latest cloud technologies Good annual bonus in recent years

Cons

Absolutely no work-life balance, expect to work long weekdays and weekends. Our work is divided into Sprints, and the customer has the last word, if the sprint starts and the customer decide to change priority, EFX will change your sprint. we faced 3 changes of task to do in one sprint.... Extra Time is not being paid, if you need extra money, don't look at EFX. They can only compensate with free days. Management only cares about your job and nothing else, they don't care if you have English classes paid by EFX or any other internal course or extra activity that can consume your time, even if they push you to take them because it's good for promotion, they will force you to focus on your job and leave your "extra" tasks. (No Career Opportunity) In short; if you’re early in your career, have no family and no limits on the amount of hours you can work, and want to learn the latest cloud technologies this might be a great place for you. Might also be good for contractors. For anyone else, look elsewhere.

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.
