Pros

Benefits are good and stable employment even though recent competition is a slight threat.

Cons

- Highly political environment between Engineering and Web Development. Risky but potentially lucrative development projects handed off to web development. If the projects are seen as a success, Engineering will bury web dev and move forward on those projects and take all of the credit. This happened on several major company changing initiatives. - Promotions based on cultural background and favoritism. After working on several game changing projects, working nights and weekends, winning several rewards and working at the company for over 6 years, never promoted once while others who did maintenance work were promoted to expert and consultant level.

Pros

Good work-life balance, fair, hybrid. Opportunities if you are in business or sales. Avoid if looking for a technical career.

Cons

Experian publicly advertises that they are a technology company, but operationally if you want to move ahead, in the business and sales area is where you want to be. Very little opportunity for engineers and technical. Experian has become more of a Fintech company in the last 5 years and leaves them vulnerable in bad economies.
