Pros

Good Work Life Balance Innovative Company Good Medical and Leave Policy

Cons

As a former employee of Experian, I can confidently say that it is a well-regarded company with many positive aspects. However, based on my experience within the Penetration Testing/Security Engineer, I observed some areas for improvement: - The pentesting testing manager lacks technical expertise and team management skills. He frequently delegates his responsibilities to other team members, often taking credit for our work. - There are no opportunities for senior PT roles, and existing roles are stagnant with no clear paths for promotion or salary increases. - The pentesting manager has one/two favorite members and always nominates their names in front of management for spotlight awards with no appreciation for the work of other team members.
