Pros

Unlimited FTOs, Great Salary and perks , Your job is not going anywhere if you work hard . You can retire from here whenever you want especially if you are technical .

Cons

If you are a middle manager , it is not just your work but how much you suck up to your management will determine if you would continue to be at work, get promoted or get fired.

Thank you for your dedication and 10+ years at TransUnion. We've been on quite a journey and with that have worked hard to give our people perks and benefits that matter. While best practices require scrum masters to have additional skills, there is always room to reevaluate and improve our SAFe model. And feedback will be an integral part of that evolution. We know there's still work to be done and we couldn't have made it this far without feedback like yours, so thank you for sharing your experience. - Mohit Kapoor, CTO

Pros

As long as you work in Chicago, Transunion has a great company culture, amazing benefits, good pay. They are innovative and the business is expanding and growing. Upper management is honest and in a town hall the CEO (Jim Peck) admitted publicly he had made some mistakes, and I really respect that. Mohit Kapoor (the CTO) responded to my original review, and I also really respect that, even if his response prompted me to rewrite my review and lower my rating. Importantly, if you have experience in the financial services industry and understand that for every 5 minutes of actual work you will need to do 3 hours of virtual paperwork and attend 6 hours of meetings, this company is for you.

Cons

Right now is a really horrible time to work in some departments. Avoid any "technology" based job at this company, they reek of "burn and churn." Management loves knee-jerk reactions. Transunion loves to tout their "work-life" balance, but in my year working there I burned more nights, weekends, and 65+ hour weeks than the previous four years combined.

I appreciate your additional insights and take this feedback very seriously. I know some teams experience more pressure than others and it's clear we need to focus on balancing those responsibilities. We're human - there is always room for improvement and that doesn't happen without candid feedback like yours. I'm glad you felt comfortable reaching back out. If there's anything else weighing on you, please let me know. - Mohit Kapoor, CTO
