Experian reviews

- You need a lot of political game to advance here. I suppose this is true of any big company and its particularly true here. If you can't connect yourself to the right people you pretty much have limited chances to advance. Worse, you can permanently end your chance at advancement by crossing the 'right' people and it's surprisingly easy to do. - Kick-ass and take names mentality. Up until 8 or so years ago the company was run by folks that knew the business really well but werent the greatest leaders. Experian turned that around by filling the upper ranks of management with 'kick-ass' clones that dont really know the business well at all and ,frankly, still arent good leaders but they do kick ass. This generated a completely numbers driven environment which is ultimately pressure filled and frustrating for many employees. - Lots of corner cutting. EBIT is king and if you cant make revenue then you have to cut costs: raises, promotions, 401ks, routine maintenance on production products...etc. - Lost customer focus. Enough said. - Really poor communication - upward. This is an enviroment where even the junior vp ranks can be afraid to speak up when things are off track.

Your job is never safe from being offshored (unless you are senior management). Competence is not recognized or rewarded. Management is completely clueless. Technology is outdated and poorly managed.
