-Benefits (401k match, GOPASS). -Opportunities to do things you never thought you would be able to do, as a result of the constant turnover.

Svantaggi

After working at Equilar and having had time to reflect on my time there, I've come to the conclusion that Equilar's office is the closest equivalent to Azkaban that can be found in our world. As soon as you enter the door, you can feel your soul slowly dying. Dave acts as a sort of ultra efficient dementor, working quickly to drain employees of any energy or enthusiasm. There is a pervasive feeling of fear and discontent that is readily apparent. At first, it may not be obvious, with the deceptive ping pong table and "lair," fooling you into thinking that maybe this is a "fun" place to work. As your tenure increases, though, your suspicion will, also. You'll start to notice that all of your coworkers are going to "doctor's appointments" every other week. Let's not fool ourselves. These are people desperately trying to claw their way out through a series of never ending job interviews. AVOID THIS PATTERN AT ALL COSTS. Find a place where there aren't stories of the CEO screaming at employees. Find somewhere where the executive team doesn't change every 6 months. To those who do work here, I've got good news. After a few months on the outside, I'm happy to report that the symptoms of working there, which includes a ghostly pallor and generally sense of "I HATE MY LIFE," have largely disappeared. STAY STRONG AND GET OUT.

Vantaggi

Equilar is a solid place to start or build early-career experience. It’s a strong stepping stone for professionals looking to develop foundational skills and gain exposure to real business operations. The environment is collaborative, and I appreciated working alongside hard-working, supportive coworkers who made the day-to-day experience enjoyable. The company also puts effort into maintaining a connected culture through regular team outings and events, which help build relationships across teams. The downtown Chicago office location on Wacker Drive is another major plus — being right along the river and close to transit, restaurants, and other amenities makes commuting and working in the area especially convenient. One standout benefit is the homebuyer assistance program, which adds meaningful value for employees looking to purchase a home. Pros • Great stepping stone for early-career professionals • Supportive, collaborative coworkers • Regular team outings and company events • Excellent downtown Chicago location • Homebuyer assistance program

Svantaggi

While Equilar offers a strong learning environment and positive team culture, there are a few areas that could be improved. Compensation may fall below or on the lower end of market rates for some positions. Experiences with management and communication can vary across teams and offices, and remote work flexibility may vary depending on role or department. Additionally, some business travel expectations — such as shared hotel accommodations during events — may not align with everyone’s personal preferences. Overall, however, the company provides valuable experience and a supportive environment for professionals. Cons • Compensation may be more modest compared to some market benchmarks, depending on the role • Management and communication styles can vary across teams and offices • Flexibility around remote work may differ based on position and departmental needs • Travel accommodations and event logistics may not suit every employee’s preferences
