Vantaggi
Fast growing unit of Equifax. Better to be aligned to the St. Louis business than the Atlanta business, due to growth trajectory and bonus payouts. If you’re going to be hired into the St. Louis Finance team - you’ll do well, in career development and pay. The St. Louis CFO ensures that the Finance team is well taken care of, and this is an ever-growing team. You should also read this as “if I’m not hired into the finance team, it’s likely I won’t have the same experience”. The actual work I perform on a daily basis, I do enjoy. It’s the HOW it’s done (at the detriment of others, or yourself) at Equifax that has given me pause.
Svantaggi
While the company leaned into diversifying the workforce, it is only surface diversity they seek (eg if you scan the room, do we ‘look diverse’). Diversity in thought - that is simply not allowed. Challenging to zero work/life balance for the masses. While pay appears good, if you divide your salary by the number of hours you've actually worked during the year you'd be surprised about how much Equifax values you. You can't take the 15+ days of PTO offered, and you can only roll over 5 days which must be used in Q1 or you lose it. Professional, but threatening work environment, so do your best work and watch your back. Good luck if your role requires you to work w Atlanta team. There’s an internal tagline of “One Equifax”, which is a farce (behind closed doors, it’s laughable). Remote work will not be a long term option at Equifax. Plans are underway to mandate an increasing #of associates that have worked from home during Covid-19, to come into the office. Like many large corporations, HR's priorities are to manage risk to the business, not represent the interest of the associate. Unfortunately, the focus on the wellbeing and development of Equifax employees is 'just talk', and is not practiced.
