Pros

Busy, lots of work to do, management lets employees do their job without micromanagement, great pay and bonus program. Great work/life balance. Diverse, stable company.

Cons

Management doesn't correct bad behavior because they are afraid of lawsuits. If you complain to HR, they don't do anything about it other than talk to the person and allow the behavior to continue. Ive seen this happen to several people. I saw someone throw something at a coworker in a meeting and no one reported it. They also claim that they promote from within, but they put people in a box and won't let them grow and frowns on people moving to other departments. They tend to hire from the outside instead of an internal person.

Pros

-Great work ethic across all departments. -Smart employees, especially on the services team -Experian name is trusted within the industry -Provides good foundation. Training program has been boosted up this past year. -Great Christmas and Company Day parties -Quick to recognize own weaknesses, and management puts action plans in place to fix it. But... -Management team is majority homegrown, showing proven potential for advancement within company.

Cons

-A majority of the action plans (said above) do not get followed through after announced. Lots of plans to make plans. -Extreme, extreme, extreme micromanagement culture. Get ready to explain your hour to hour to your direct manager. This is most prevalent on the sales team. -Major turnover because of the micromanagement culture. All of the best employees/managers leave because senior management disagrees with the micromanagement opinion. -Management team is majority homegrown, so all of their ideas come from within the bubble. There will be no new ideas based on successful experiences from other companies. Lots of recycled ideas from the senior managers. 80% are homegrown.
