Pros

-As a rule of thumb, if you are looking for " very relaxed 9-5 ;) " work or you are graduate, go for it. If you are not in early stage of you career, want to work and serious about you career as a software engineer you should avoid this place. -Generally nice colleagues and easy going management in Dublin

Cons

- Way below market salary and even they do their best to lowball you - All decisions (even simple technical) are made in Atlanta. - Lots of empty cooperate talk. - Too much politics. Constant game of thrones in Atlanta - They claim to be Agile but it is not used to improve process. Lots of action item after retrospective meeting but no result (similar to their projects/products). Looks like Agile for them is a way to silently micro-manage employee. - very limited career growth

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.
