Pros

Remote working/ hybrid working is useful

Cons

Lack of career progression for technical staff – Despite being a data-driven organization, there is limited opportunity for advancement within technical roles, with more focus and recognition given to commercial and managerial paths. • Increased workload due to redundancies – Staff are often overloaded following rounds of redundancies, with little support or recognition for the additional responsibilities taken on. • Stealth redundancies – Rather than clear communication, there are instances of quiet, indirect redundancy processes, leading to uncertainty and low morale. • Ethically questionable redundancy practices – avoiding mass redundancies by doing them in smaller batches to avoid legal and regulatory responsibilities. Experian don’t care about mental health

Pros

Decent salary & benefits, monthly no internal meeting days

Cons

Friendly reminder that HR does not care about you. They care about staff with seniority, whom they will allow to retaliate despite that being against company policies. Think twice about reporting the higher ups because it will come back to haunt you, guaranteed. Also, AI is the only thing that matters anymore. Watching the volume of once-impressive colleagues become so single and simple minded through constant AI usage is not only disappointing but genuinely alarming. Thinking for oneself is no longer the standard, it seems, and speaking against such unfettered use of AI in all things will get you professionally ostracized.
