Pros

Get to learn a lot if you are a self starter. New leaders have a 50/50 chance of succeeding, top line leadership is good.

Cons

Change averse, legacy thinking and processes. Not a tech company yet. Not sure about the mid level leaders/ kingdom builders who have come in due to their relations with the new CTO. Highly political environment where 5% of the folks do 100% of the work, the rest of the 95% just talk BS to earn a paycheck. You'll end up spending 8 hrs in meetings (which most of the time are BS) and then go home and do some real work. All the good talent has already left, the others are on their way out.

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.
