Pros

People / Colleagues - There are some brilliant people here. Friendly, passionate and intelligent. - There are regular department wide social events and I enjoy working with the rest of my team. Agile working - The transition to agile (scrum) with teams focused on areas of expertise has been brilliant. It's like night and day compared to a couple of years ago. More is being produced to a much higher standard. - Improvements in our Project Management function is also paying dividends leading to better prioritization of work and relationships with our global clients and stakeholders. Embracing change - Related to the above, we are starting to see the results of a lot of hard work with a much better product range. Will be good to see this make an impact. Career - I have colleagues who have moved to / from other Experian divisions. It's a massive company with lots of national and international opportunities that you can explore if you are a decent employee and want to.

Cons

The appalling Dell 'Help'desk for IT support. It seems a bit easy for senior management to slip back to the 'old'/non-agile mentality. There is a weird, unhelpful distance between the Sales departments, tech departments and the 'Strategic Plan'. Pay - not sure about this to be honest. Fairly sure I could get more elsewhere but I think that would always be the case.

Pros

The fact they had Remote work

Cons

In my experience, management lacked consistency, transparency, and empathy when addressing employee concerns. After dedicating nearly 16 years to the company, I felt my years of service and commitment were not meaningfully considered when employment decisions were made. I received my first disciplinary action in February 2026 related to FMLA reporting requirements. From my perspective, I was placed on a final corrective action without prior coaching or progressive discipline, which I found surprising after many years with the company. A few months later, I was terminated following a security-related incident while working remotely. I felt I was not given a meaningful opportunity to explain the circumstances before the decision was made, leaving me with the impression that the outcome had already been determined. I also experienced frustration when seeking guidance from Human Resources regarding bereavement policies. I did not feel my concerns were fully addressed or that I received clear explanations to help me understand the company’s position. Overall, I left feeling unsupported and believing that HR’s primary role was to protect the organization’s interests rather than advocate for employees. While every workplace must uphold policies and compliance standards, I believe there should also be room for fairness, open communication, and consideration of an employee’s long-standing dedication and overall performance. My experience left me feeling undervalued and, ultimately, discarded after nearly 16 years of loyal service.
