Pros

Benefits are good and stable employment even though recent competition is a slight threat.

Cons

- Highly political environment between Engineering and Web Development. Risky but potentially lucrative development projects handed off to web development. If the projects are seen as a success, Engineering will bury web dev and move forward on those projects and take all of the credit. This happened on several major company changing initiatives. - Promotions based on cultural background and favoritism. After working on several game changing projects, working nights and weekends, winning several rewards and working at the company for over 6 years, never promoted once while others who did maintenance work were promoted to expert and consultant level.

Pros

People / Colleagues - There are some brilliant people here. Friendly, passionate and intelligent. - There are regular department wide social events and I enjoy working with the rest of my team. Agile working - The transition to agile (scrum) with teams focused on areas of expertise has been brilliant. It's like night and day compared to a couple of years ago. More is being produced to a much higher standard. - Improvements in our Project Management function is also paying dividends leading to better prioritization of work and relationships with our global clients and stakeholders. Embracing change - Related to the above, we are starting to see the results of a lot of hard work with a much better product range. Will be good to see this make an impact. Career - I have colleagues who have moved to / from other Experian divisions. It's a massive company with lots of national and international opportunities that you can explore if you are a decent employee and want to.

Cons

The appalling Dell 'Help'desk for IT support. It seems a bit easy for senior management to slip back to the 'old'/non-agile mentality. There is a weird, unhelpful distance between the Sales departments, tech departments and the 'Strategic Plan'. Pay - not sure about this to be honest. Fairly sure I could get more elsewhere but I think that would always be the case.
