Experian is a ho-hum place to work.

Pros

- Fair with pay and benefits plan. My boss was very good about work/personal balance. I think that the company has some solid initiatives in place for growth, and I hope that they get developed, else stagnation will occur.

Cons

- Sr. Mgmt has been there along time making any new idea generation and activation slow on the up take. - Runs at a fast pace but no one seems to be doing alot behind closed doors.

Pros

Good people and friendly place to work. Potential for good experience and to take on responsibility at an early stage in your career. Experience of the full project lifecycle and client facing work with the possibility of moving to other areas of such a large business.

Cons

Recent salaries low in comparison to similar jobs elsewhere, particularly in Analytics roles. No clear salary bands so secrecy surrounds the pay of colleagues and no clear idea of what you may be earning in 4 years time. Reluctance to promote in lean times with the focus on the individual proving they have earned an average review rating. Reliant on your line manager and relationship with them for prospects (as anywhere I guess!). Prospects likely to improve when the economy picks up and money isn't as tight.

Pros

Breadth of product and service offerings in relation to those required in the market are comprehensive and wide reaching. Things are improving internally - but its a slow process in a large organsiation. There are some (actually many) really bright and passionate people in Experian. Restructures are often done with the right motives and ideas in mind in response to market and business challenges. Experian are very mindful of their reputation and the needs of a listed business. The company has launched a number of internal initiatives relating to centralised services and development programmes that will in time add great value to the organsiation and its employees. Variety of clients, divisions and international opportunity for those that want to take the chances that regularly emerge.

Cons

Organisation could join product and service offerings together for greater impact in the marketplace. Poor reward and recognition model that doesn't deal with cross over between divisions with clients with different propositions for the same problem. Heaviliy centralised internal support teams leading to poor Executive decision making and local team support who see numbers but not reality of business. Things are improving but, as with all large organsiations, its moving very slowly which can be very frustrating for employees. Annual restructures. There are a number of long termers who live in the past but do what is required to get by and pay the bills - their passion for the business they work in has long since gone.
