Pros

They sponsor visas. Good space and free coffee in the canteen. Kind and friendly coworkers in general. Ok work-life balance. Benefits are average compared to the market.

Cons

Salaries much below the market. Lack of challenge in the job. Too much time spent on bureaucracy and infrastructure problems. No career progression and working from home is discouraged. People are leaving in hordes with no replacement. High management says Dublin is part of a strategic plan but facts show otherwise, there's little investment and projects have been removed from the office. No infrastructure ownership (it's all in US) and there are changes in configurations and permissions all the time without notice, affecting international teams and blocking the development. Management is unrealistic, even though they know about these problems they expect teams to deliver as if nothing was happening. Huge storms over insignificant issues, which keeps teams locked in low value and boring tasks. Lack of transparency. People hired for one project realize on the 1st day that they're going to another totally unrelated project using different technologies, with no explanations given. Candidates are told that the company is fully Agile and has only greenfield projects, which is not true.

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.
