Pros

health/dental insurance are the best I have seen, anywhere, though it is pricey..abot 400/month for covered+1). It would be helpful if they offered an HSA (they do not).

Cons

- The company went full-monty "agile" methodology and they apply it to everything...programming, infrastructure, security, etc. It was implemented horribly, and as a tool to enslave and extract every ounce of productivity from the staff. If you enjoy having to explain and justify every possible impediment to implementing a solution, in minute detail 4 times a day, then again having to explain twice-a-day what you have done to resolve it, then this is the place for you. IN YOUR FACE project management. - The company likes to fire staff around the Christmas holidays. Every year I saw at least a dozen or so people fired in the most cruel way, just before Christmas. - The whole environment feels like I'm working for some cult. About half of the staff is composed of determined, ambitious corporate-climbers who have no idea how to manage others let alone aproject, and the remaining staff are simply trying to survive by hiding from the first half. This place sucks beyond belief.

Pros

Benefits . Co Workers are very nice

Cons

A very misogynistic place . The men can get drunk at their desk and nothing happens. Poor management . Don’t work in customer support. Poor communication. If you have a strong spirit you won’t last here . It’s like a men’s club.

Your review is very concerning to me. The environment you described is not something we tolerate at TransUnion, and I want to thank you for bringing it to my attention. TU is a place where people should feel good about going to work every day and be treated with respect. Please know this will not go unheard and it will be addressed. But if you'd be open to sharing more about your experience, please reach out to me directly at anne.leyden@transunion.com. - Anne Leyden, EVP HR

Pros

Coworkers are mostly smart, good benefits, 7.5 hour workday, corporate stability

Cons

Tech management is deeply unprofessional from the top down. Some due to being poorly trained first timers, others due to being long timers surrounded by yes men. VPs and directors will unprofessionally badmouth their peers and mid management to low level employees who they are friendly with. Racist comments and actions are ignored by HR. Healthy work life balance is actually discouraged. Certain members of upper management have openly said they like it when people get divorced so they work more, and they don't want female employees to have kids. They use offensive nicknames for many of the employees and openly joke about them performing oral sex on a specific member upper management. Neither local nor Chicago HR are helpful and anything you discuss with them will be used by your manager against you. If you're interviewing for tech here ask how many tech employees have left in Q1 2017.
