Pros

Many of the coworkers are wonderful people. Pay is adequate, but nothing to brag about. Offices are nice. Hours aren't bad. On a day in day out basis, it's not a bad place to work. Advancement and job security are more about if you are "in" politically than if you do a good job.

Cons

Management is very bad, in all divisions. They keep people that are average to poor performers. Then let the best people walk out the door or they drive them away. In one instance, a young inexperienced "buddy" of a division president got put over a work group when he had no prior experience in leading or managing people. In 9 months, he drove away an experienced director who was one of the smartest people I'd met in the whole company, one of the best managers at Experian and always an over performer. And Experian's senior management let it happen ... even though just 2 months later they fired that division president. That's classic Experian. Lose good people rather than address bad management and bad leadership. Experian also only knows how to lay people off or ship jobs overseas. They have no clue how to manage through bad times. It seems it manages only so that executive management gets its bonuses - regardless of the long term consequences to the health of the business.

Pros

Decent salary & benefits, monthly no internal meeting days

Cons

Friendly reminder that HR does not care about you. They care about staff with seniority, whom they will allow to retaliate despite that being against company policies. Think twice about reporting the higher ups because it will come back to haunt you, guaranteed. Also, AI is the only thing that matters anymore. Watching the volume of once-impressive colleagues become so single and simple minded through constant AI usage is not only disappointing but genuinely alarming. Thinking for oneself is no longer the standard, it seems, and speaking against such unfettered use of AI in all things will get you professionally ostracized.
