Experian Sr. Software Engineer reviews

Leadership is completely detached from the company's workforce. They pretend to make efforts to change that, but they only embarrass themselves with the poor attempt they make, expecting people to be inspired from templated circular emails and one way live streams. Compared to the rest of the companies in the same industry, salaries are not competitive at all. Moreover, career progression is a joke - the pay raises are incredibly small and you must be your manager's favorite to hope for a pay raise. Elitist/fraternity culture, a big game of who knows who. The most talented colleagues all left because of the above (both leadership and salary). It was very easy for the competitor companies to convince them to leave. In return, the company has been hiring an incredible amount of (cheap) oversea people that is really frustrating to work with due to language barriers and time shifts. And these people actually manage very important security aspects of the company AND most support teams that you need to get your equipment working, making your job a nightmare without actually granting much actual security to the company. Essentially a "lose-lose". This is a company that makes more than 4 billion dollars per year, and sends chocolate calendars for Christmas (pre-COVID, now not even that) The more you go high up in the ranks, the less people actually do anything. The amount of incompetent people in the higher ranks is astounding. Finally, to confirm what I said above, just read the 1 star reviews and have a look at the default response Experian gives. Especially the part about salaries and career progression.

No cons from my point of view
