      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some skilled people and good benefits; work can be satisfying

      Cons

      Management by monthly financials with no concern for longer term results so there is a constant crisis as people try to make monthly goals often resulting in shortcuts and pressure to pre-book revenue before actual delivery. When number are bad, there are always job cuts regardless of performance. No career development and lots of politics and cronyism.

      Terrible Company - Stay Away

      Technical consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Really good relationships with peers. Most people, especially long-time employees, work really hard and care about results because they are self-motivated...not because of anything management does.

      Cons

      Just about everything! Poor planning. Cost cutting at the expense of quality. Offshoring of IT resources with no consideration of skill levels or experience. But in spite of the constant cost-cutting, many projects had $ millions thrown at them but were so poorly conceived and managed that they were never successfully implemented. Constant layoffs and everyone worried about layoffs. Too much of "who" you know and not "what" you know to get ahead.

      Pros

      Experian is excellent at attracting the best people and your team mates will be among the best with whom you've ever worked. Management is very interested in employee feedback and following up on it.

      Cons

      Like most large companies today, there is too much emphasis on 'SMART' goals and almost 50% of work time is spent on pursuing these goals. And then the remaining 50% of the job must be pursued after hours or on weekends. In my group 70 hour weeks were the norm. The work experience and environment varies widely depending on the manager. This is the only place I ever worked where I had to get manager approval prior to scheduling an appointment with the doctor.
