Pros

Benefits aren't bad, in Belfast pension contribution were at ~2.5%, now will match up to 10%. Staff and Belfast management team are great to work with. Flexible working quite good.

Cons

Where to start? Constant restructuring of senior management, with no clear direction of where we are going. They recently moved us out of a reasonably good building and have squashed us into the remaining 2 buildings, told us this would avoid redundancies, but a number of staff have been 'talked to', seems they want to get rid of staff while avoiding the usual redundancy process (and from what I hear the statutory redundancy pay minimums), some of the Belfast management team just disappeared, leaving staff very confused as to what was going on, no official notice from the company about their employment ending. Extremely disrespectful to say the least! At a recent (one of the very few) communication session from senior management, an executive said 'A good day in Iraq was when no-one died', things are pretty bad when that's the low you have to compare to (also not a good comment to make in Belfast when you consider the history we have had). They also referred to colleagues in our Chennai office as 'keyboard thumpers'. Words can't describe how ridiculous a statement this is, I was insulted on behalf of our colleagues. It also sums up just what senior management think of the staff working for Equiniti. If I had written this review last year, it would have been much more positive, there was a time when I had been looking forward to a long term career at Equiniti. Now it feels like senior management are in it to get their bonuses and add another notch to their CV, they make bug promises, dump on us, then move on before the consequences of their actions come to light, meanwhile we are left with no direction, demotivated staff and lately a really miserable place to work. On the plus side, no-one died.

Pros

Lots of very decent people work at the company.

Cons

Senior management have one by one been forced out of the company and their replacements are mostly extremely inexperienced and incompetent. This is the biggest problem and with work drying up and new sales not happening, the outlook is eternally bleak. A process of moving existing work to the Equiniti office in India where low paid staff will attempt to pick things up, is ongoing. A culture of fear prevails.

Pros

Nice work colleagues, but they are have all left or leaving anyway. Office is nice.

Cons

Equiniti are a cancer that metastasises by taking over smaller companies which then go downhill and die as they offshore the work to Chennai. They treat their staff like crap and they leave. Equiniti's business model seems to be to treat their staff like crap so they leave without having to pay any redundancy and then offshore everything. Low staff morale as the company is run by morons. Hardly a week goes by without a new resignation. Staff are not replaced. No training at all. The world would be a better place without Equiniti. Good riddance. Please don't even think about working here. You have been warned.
