Decent benefits overshadowed by frequent layoffs

Business Outlook

Pros

Good company. Decent benefits, good management support

Cons

Layoffs. The leaderships loves to do layoffs. They layoff as many people as possible as often as possible. If you work for Experian, understand that it is a short term gig and you will be laid off. If you last five years, it is longer than expected.
