A huge organisation with typical issues for one of its size - but making positive strides on a daily basis.
Pros
Breadth of product and service offerings in relation to those required in the market are comprehensive and wide reaching. Things are improving internally - but its a slow process in a large organsiation. There are some (actually many) really bright and passionate people in Experian. Restructures are often done with the right motives and ideas in mind in response to market and business challenges. Experian are very mindful of their reputation and the needs of a listed business. The company has launched a number of internal initiatives relating to centralised services and development programmes that will in time add great value to the organsiation and its employees. Variety of clients, divisions and international opportunity for those that want to take the chances that regularly emerge.
Cons
Organisation could join product and service offerings together for greater impact in the marketplace. Poor reward and recognition model that doesn't deal with cross over between divisions with clients with different propositions for the same problem. Heaviliy centralised internal support teams leading to poor Executive decision making and local team support who see numbers but not reality of business. Things are improving but, as with all large organsiations, its moving very slowly which can be very frustrating for employees. Annual restructures. There are a number of long termers who live in the past but do what is required to get by and pay the bills - their passion for the business they work in has long since gone.
