Experian reviews

The overall culture at Experian has become increasingly toxic, particularly following the appointment of the new CTO, about a year ago. Since his arrival, there's been a noticeable shift in the work environment, with tension and competition replacing collaboration and support. The CTO's presence often makes employees feel uncomfortable — for instance, there was an occasion where he silently stared at someone as they left the office, an interaction that felt unsettling and could have been diffused with a simple greeting. Given his position, such behavior raises concerns. Experian promotes itself as an inclusive workplace, but that has not been the experience for everyone. Employees with disabilities, particularly those who are neurodivergent, may face challenges. Adaptations or differences in working style can lead to criticism rather than support. In cases where individuals have required extended medical leave, there are instances where this has been followed by redundancy, raising questions about how decisions are made regarding long-term employee value. Although leadership claims that favoritism does not influence decisions, it appears to persist in more subtle ways. For example, when questioned about the fairness of performance-based redundancies — such as letting go of someone rated a "3" while retaining someone rated a "2" — the response was that the company is choosing those who are a "better fit" for Experian’s future. This rationale suggests that subjective criteria may outweigh objective performance metrics.
