No interest in talent investing - Senior Software Engineer Equifax Employee Review

Zero Ghosting: Communication was super consistent and clear from start to finish. I was never left wondering. Flexible & Open: The hiring managers were genuinely open to discussing the scope of the role, rather than just handing down a rigid checklist of duties. They Stuck to the Timeline: They verbalized exactly how long the process would take and followed through perfectly. No unexpected delays or moving goalposts.

Missed the In-Person Connection: While the remote process was smooth, I would have loved the opportunity to meet some of the team in person before finalizing everything. Needed More Day-to-Day Specifics: The big-picture conversations about the role were great, but I could have used a bit more clarity and specific detail around what the actual daily routine and tasks look like.

My direct manager. Comp plan if you’re lucky enough to find several whale clients, and if you’re lucky, the commission is approved.

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.
