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

Global company with possible overseas opportunities. Bonus plan is fair (if entire company meets the goals.) Benefits are industry average. If you are loyal, they will be loyal too. Company has many divisions and opportunities within, if given the chance.

Cons

Senior Management micromanages too much, company is always reactive instead of proactive, going public was the worst thing that ever happened to the company. Company has extremely high turnover rate, many employees work overtime without being compensated. Senior management does not communicate down well and is often trying to change course without any real thought.

Pros

Experian utilizes technology to recommend marketing solutions to various clients. Since the focus today is precision marketing, Experian can do that with its rich subset of data that it has collected from various sources including surveys. So, if you are looking for opportunities where you can deliver significant value to the client, you can utilize this rich set of data to deliver strategic solutions. Flexible - Ability to work from home all the time. The benefits are very good including 4 weeks of vacation.

Cons

There's no opportunities for any growth in my department. There are opportunities in other departments. I received an advanced degree recently but have not been able to use it. my goal was to get more opportunities with my degree for which i spent considerable amount of money and i dont see that Return on Investment. It's very discouraging.
