Pros

Co-workers are the best Decent benefits Casual work environment Easy (close) commute and a nice office Good company to join if you want to use as a stepping stone to learn and leave within 2 to 3 years

Cons

Experian Marketing Solutions / Consumer Insights continues to struggle with implementing a plan for growth and sticking to it. Much like Sybil with her multiple personalities, Experian needs to understand who they are and what they want; they then need to develop a good plan for success and to stick with it - not flip-flop and change direction every year. They also need to quit over-working, under-paying and taking advantage of the decent, loyal, dedicated employees they have left. Before the end of each fiscal, positions are eliminated and department budgets are cut all to improve the bottom line - but at what cost? Over my 8+ year tenure, I took on 3 additional positions due to downsizing without any increase in pay. Promotion to the next job level never came through even though it was the work I was doing for several years. The expectation is to work more hours (50+ hours p/week is the norm and what's expected) to complete the job(s) at hand which in turn creates a reactive rather than proactive work environment. Corporate global strategy to create shared services (AP/AR/IT) in Costa Rica, Chile, Kuala Lumpur in order to reduce redundancy across all business units resulted in entire departments to be laid off and outsourced to these off-shore locations. Morale is terrible and people are looking elsewhere. Senior and Executive Management are clueless and only care about the numbers, not the people. Older, more experienced, talented people with years of service are being let go so it does seem ageism is in play.

Pros

Good work life balance, great office culture and great hardworking people to work with.

Cons

No personal growth, no perks, compensation is on the low end. Company is moving all development offshore and has no plan in place to do this. Product management in the UK is so disconnected with the development in the US. There is no accountability in any of the teams. Too many contractors and not many employees, huge risk.

Pros

Honestly I cannot think of one.

Cons

Honestly turnover is at a staggering rate 80% or more. They will tell you hiring continues because of new business, actually it is due to attrition. Managers are put in place purely for the fact that they have been there for a year or two, no management experience or training. They method of training is punishment. The pay is pathetic
