Pros

People / Colleagues - There are some brilliant people here. Friendly, passionate and intelligent. - There are regular department wide social events and I enjoy working with the rest of my team. Agile working - The transition to agile (scrum) with teams focused on areas of expertise has been brilliant. It's like night and day compared to a couple of years ago. More is being produced to a much higher standard. - Improvements in our Project Management function is also paying dividends leading to better prioritization of work and relationships with our global clients and stakeholders. Embracing change - Related to the above, we are starting to see the results of a lot of hard work with a much better product range. Will be good to see this make an impact. Career - I have colleagues who have moved to / from other Experian divisions. It's a massive company with lots of national and international opportunities that you can explore if you are a decent employee and want to.

Cons

The appalling Dell 'Help'desk for IT support. It seems a bit easy for senior management to slip back to the 'old'/non-agile mentality. There is a weird, unhelpful distance between the Sales departments, tech departments and the 'Strategic Plan'. Pay - not sure about this to be honest. Fairly sure I could get more elsewhere but I think that would always be the case.

Pros

Good work-life balance, fair, hybrid. Opportunities if you are in business or sales. Avoid if looking for a technical career.

Cons

Experian publicly advertises that they are a technology company, but operationally if you want to move ahead, in the business and sales area is where you want to be. Very little opportunity for engineers and technical. Experian has become more of a Fintech company in the last 5 years and leaves them vulnerable in bad economies.
