Pros

It is an extremely fast paced environment where there is potential to learn a lot. You are required to conform to their standards of potential promotion and training, regardless of your prior experience. Management tries to reach you with intimidation tactics, not ideal!

Cons

ABSOLOUTELY HORRIBLE PAY STRUCTURE. NEAR MINIMUM WAGE. BE WARNED! You are required to conform to their standards of potential promotion and training, regardless of your prior experience. Management tries to reach you with intimidation tactics, not ideal!

Pros

Decent pay and benefits. Lots of vacation time. Upper Management is good about sharing their high-level strategy with lower-level employees.

Cons

Chronic under-staffing, absurd offshoring, cronyism, out-of-touch management. Experian so desperately wants to avoid paying the high salaries commanded by skilled software developers and data scientists, that they'll try any crazy plan. Developers in Costa Rica and Malaysia aren't working out, neither is having a project manager for every 2 engineers.

Experian - Losing its way

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Decision Analytics UK have some great products and people Core credit bureau is hanging on to the primary bureau spot Consumer services is benefiting from increased consumer interest in their credit file

Cons

Decision analytics expertise continues to be eroded by lesser talent from North American. Core credit bureau lacks a strategic vision and is only holding on to primary UK bureau because clients cannot justify the investment to switch suppliers Marketing services lacks a cohesive strategy and expertise to move beyond basis list cleaning and rental. Consumer services is not in control of its growth and has no alternative once interest starts to decline.
