Pros

Absolutely no pros. Glassdoor does not let me post without a pros section. So let me mention: 1) Per diem is taxable unless you submit bills but nobody might tell you - be careful. Atleast they give per diem - even though they deduct 20%-30% extra tax on it once you are back. 2) Health insurance exists. 3) Your driving skills will improve as every morning you will face Bangalore traffic and then circle around to try to find a parking place for yourself. 4) You don't need an ID card - it is a BFSI company where the ID machine does not work!

Cons

1) Bonus not paid on time. 2) Appraisal does not happen on time. 3) Offer letters are given out and withdrawn on the whim of managers. So if you get an offer letter and are hoping to join Equifax, then be careful. 4) Designation might be changed just before you join. You might get downgraded from Senior Consultant to Consultant. 5) There is no management. 6) There is no retention policy. 7) Office does not have parking, coffee machine. 8) Focus is on coming to office on time, and not the kind of work that gets done. 9) There are two teams - India business & Coe(US business). COE is a dead end. India business is suicide. Even then DONOT JOIN CoE - India business might atleast give you decent hikes and promotions. 10) There is no leadership. There were a few good leaders, they have left. Senior leadership might be good (no comments there) but middle management is rotten. 11) Work will not get done, so expect people to play a blame game here. 12) Do not expect managers to guide in you anything technical. 13) Middle management is also filled up with liars. 14) Telephone lines go blank as 'airtel did not register our payment'. 15) Internet connectivity is frequently missing. Need I say more?

Pros

Overtime options are great. The pay is okay, but be prepared to sacrifice your peace of mind.

Cons

It's like pulling teeth trying to get a day or just a few hours off for doctors appointments, family priorities, etc. I was penalized for missing work due to having a miscarriage and needing immediate medical attention. My supervisor took multiple unscheduled days off, even came in on a Monday and decided she wanted to take the rest of the week off... and did. you are constantly going to be micromanaged and looked at under a microscope. Equifax sacrifices quality service for fast service. there is a constant competition to close more cases per day. Good luck going to higher up with any issues, they will just tell you to hang in there things will be better soon. I experienced retaliation from multiple supervisors for reporting issues I was having with them. laying off hundreds of American employees to take business abroad for cheaper labor while grossing highest profits in company history is insane. In conclusion, this is the most toxic environment I have ever worked in, If the job market was better I would've been gone long before I hit 1 year of employment.
