Pros

The benifits were pretty good. They 401K match was good also. Security is good outside of the building, but once inside this so called secured Credit Information is not so secure as camera phones are allowed on the floor.

Cons

Very unequal pay rate. Person who came in after me made $8000 more in the same position and did less work, our backgrounds were pretty equal. You will not get any day around a holiday off, those are awarded to ones with senoirity, not the ones who actually work hard and deserve it. You are not recognized for a job well done. There is blatent harassment, both sexual and racial happening in the office. The HR dept is the most unresposive group I have ever encountered and they will give you false hopes when you do interview.

Pros

The people at TU are the reason it is so hard for most employees to move on to new adventures. For the most part, it is a group of people you find yourself actually happy to be around and having this sort of environment quite often makes it not feel like work. As well, the work environment is laid back and while you do sometimes find days or weeks or rarely months where you're working 14 hour days, the majority of the time you are able to take your time and really understand the technology you're working with and choose the best path to tread on each project. One last note is that for those willing to take it upon themselves, there is almost always room to grow, change, and move forward within the company. It may not always be easy, but it is certainly a place where there is something for everyone who wants to learn their chosen skills well and have the personal initiative to keep themselves moving forward on the path.

Cons

Upper management, while being good people who are there for us, are quite often viewed as leading us down an ill path. It's not so much that people view them as not having our best intentions at heart - they do; it's simply the fruitless goals and the number of attempts at creating solutions for problems which don't necessarily exist. A less often taken view, but probably the more correct one, is that in reality the poorly decided initiatives are pressure from the behemoth of TU Corporate upper management that push their ideas onto what employees at the subsidiaries think of as "our" upper management.

Pros

I've been with the company over 2 years and I've seen it change from a slightly stuffy company to one that is more agile and making exciting changes (like a complete renovation of corporate headquarters). We're in the sweet spot in terms of scale (4,000+ employees) since you can do cool things like working across departments on international projects and also have the structure and resources to make things easily manageable. TransUnion growth also allows for greater career opportunities - I've made both a lateral job change, and received a promotion. Overall I'm happy with the direction Transunion is heading and would recommended it as an employer to friends.

Cons

Like any company, your experience will vary by manager. Though we have some great managers, there are some that need improvement (who I personally wouldn't want to work for / with). Be careful to flush this out if you're interviewing!
