Pros

Not bad salary, different products an possibilities to switch between them, good benefits

Cons

A huge organization with a matrix structure, slow decision making. Not too advanced from technological perspective like still working with Windows 7 for example.

Pros

• Great benefits — medical, dental, vision, 401k (100% match up to 4%, vested immediately) • Great perks — fitness reimbursements, employee tuition assistance, hardship fund, VTO, generous PTO, annual performance bonus, annual pay raise, free snacks and coffee/tea, subsidized cafeteria/vending prices, nap room, game room, weights area in parking garage, discounts to stores and sports games, etc. • Work/life balance = AMAZING • Work flexibility is great • Really values diversity, most apparent in employee resource groups (Asian American, Hispanic/Latinx, African American, Pride, Women in Experian, Military/Vet, Indian, mental health, etc.) • Management—and even your peers—really cares about your visibility and growth in the company; they understand that you have to enjoy your job in order to do it properly and effectively • Senior leaders are very humble and personable, not at all ego-driven • Every day is different; it's so challenging but SO fun

Cons

In my personal experience, I really can't think of any, but I know my business unit is not like all others. Every workplace will have people you can't stand/work with. I think for the most part, Experian sees very little of those people.

Pros

I am solely speaking for myself here but the executive/team I work for want us all to do well and help better the company. We set goals which I feel help better not only ourselves but our BU as well. I feel cared about and included. Pay and benefits are good.

Cons

The only reason I didn't give Experian a 5 star rating is due to their on-boarding process. It is all over the place and if I didn't have another long-term employee assisting me with what I needed to do, I would still be trying to figure things out.
