Pros

Average benefits and pay, a lot of good people work there

Cons

Leadership all the way to the c-suite - say they want to be agile and then do everything in their power from the top down to micromanage. They have both a project management department throughout the company and scrum masters - except they expect scrum masters to be project managers embedded within the teams. No growth for scrum masters, no understanding of what a scrum master job actually is. No room to disagree with any decisions around processes and culture. Being a very large corporation you're also dealing with all the red-tape that entails to even get a simple job done. Product owners are not empowered, they are forced into being the stereotypical "jira backlog manager".

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.
