Pros

Experian Data Quality is a fast-paced, high-growth company that is willing to take a risk on good talent in new positions, making it the ideal company for those looking to start or further their career in the enterprise / SaaS software and services space. The expose you'll get in every position to the operations of a world-class corporate software provider is unparalleled; if you're looking to grow your business acumen and willing to put in the work, this is the place to do it. Complementary to this, EDQ still maintains a young, fun culture with numerous events, employee improvement sessions (career planning, public speaking, technical training) and options for charitable work. Senior management is highlighted in areas with extremely strong talent that is as concerned with your personal growth as much as the growth of the company, leading to endless stories of individual contributors taking their first management roles here, and progressing through the ranks. In addition, the structure of the company isn't set in stone. In my 3 years at EDQ, I saw more than 5 individuals step into roles that didn't previously exist, due to expressed interest in creation of the role or justification in business need and a match to a skill-set. Overall, this makes EDQ an unbelievable place to be if you have aspirations of quickly growing yourself, your skills, and your career.

Cons

As with any quick growing SaaS company, the work / life balance leans to the former in certain positions, with the caveat that this is often self-induced for career or growth-driven individuals. This can be remedied through better time management or a talk-track with your manager but it's easy to fall into the "I can do everything" mindset as management will let you take on the world once you're proven.

Pros

Flexible schedule, free food, lots of job opportunities, great benefits, fun activities, nice coworkers, management understands that there needs to be life/work balance

Cons

It is very difficult to move up unless you are one of the favorites or friends with the big guys. There is too much uncertainty as to what is going to happen to the company.

Pros

Great people to work with. Culture was OK for a corporate environment. Fast paced work environment (ie. it's always changing if your'e into that sort of thing).

Cons

Overly complex infrastructure to work with due to years and years of everyone doing things their own way. Upper management will always give into the customer to meet deadlines and make money thusly sloppy work and adding to the overall complexity. Doesn't really feel like you matter or contribute much to the success of company. Certainly NOT rewarded for solid work. Expect your standard corporate 0-2% annual pay increases. Doesn't keep up with inflation. Bonuses are also based off of number you have no control over.
