Pros

Very typical corporate lifestyle. Culture varies a lot by team/department but overall nothing ridiculous regarding hours, management. People are very nice and courteous and care about your career.

Cons

Majority of associates are older folks who have been in the company for decades so can be difficult to advance depending on the team. The company is a bit outdated in it's technology usage although that has been changing in recent years albeit very slowly. Not the brightest group of talent that can challenge you to grow but compensate with decades of experience in the credit industry, which also unfortunately creates a system that tends to merit experience more than competence.

TransUnion Response

Thank you for candid response. We have implemented a lot of major technology changes over the past years, and we are definitely further along in our journey. But we are not done yet - we are looking to further expand our technology capabilities to really enable the business to grow. I believe that the limit for a company shouldn't be the technology, but the imagination to use it properly. Part of that is continuing to hire the best and maximize the potential of those who already work here. Our goal is to invest in our people to create a team that is flexible and won't settle for anything less than the best. - Mohit Kapoor, CTO

Pros

In your down time, if you're caught up on tickets you can basically do whatever you want granted, you're still attentive to phone calls No overbearing managers checking in on you

Cons

Company feels very disorganized TransUnion uses SalesForce as their main ticketing system, and it is not maintained at all. When a new account manager takes over an account, half the time they do not update who the account manager is in SalesForce or they will simply create a new account. You'll receive a lot of complaints from customers informing you they do not know who their account manager. I've been told by customers that Experian and Equifax list who their account manager is when they log into their accounts. A lot of times you'll be sent on a wild goose chase to track down who the actual account manager is. There are many accounts with the same name or a slightly altered name. For example, there will be walmart, WalMart, WALMART, and you will have to figure out which is the most up to date account for the customer. Some account managers flat out ignore calls and emails from their customers which ends up causing more work for you since they'll be calling and emailing whatever number and/or email they can, and you'll team majority of the time receives the brunt of it. Feels less like IT/technical work and more like a call center where your sole objective is to push tickets and direct tickets to the correct location. There will be many tickets you are unable to resolve on your own because you do not have the correct permissions. Unfortunately, this role is the catch all net for when the system, customers, or other TransUnion employees are unsure who to go to for an issue, meaning, you'll also receive a lot of tickets that do not fall into your scope. For example, you'll receive tickets for billing and invoices, account managers not responding to customers, questions about websites/applications you do not know, and more. A lot of the login error tickets could be reduced if TransUnion websites informed the customer what the issue is. For example, instead of the website informing the customer their account has been locked, or they need to perform a password reset, the website will only tell the customer to contact the 1-800 number, which also creates more work for you. There's honestly a lot more wrong with this position that makes you basically feel like you are the bottom of the barrel, but I only have so much energy
