Opportunities for simultaneous career progression and work-life balance
Pros
- Organizational aim to keep meetings and work schedules within the normal working hours — meetings before 7am and after 6pm local time are infrequent, and there’s no expectation to accept when requests outside this time are received. - Opportunities for career progression ONLY if you take ownership of committing to that path; stretch/upwards roles are not handed to people on a silver platter unless they vocalize and pursue the path - Commitment to remote work flexibility — we’ve gotten A LOT done and are more efficient at our jobs while working remotely; there’s not an organizational call to return to in-office work
Cons
- Leadership does play favorites to people they trust; so loss of that trust may decimate any chance of upwards movement - We generally tend to over-invite people to meetings (lots of cooks in the kitchen for decision making), and this locks up people’s calendars - The salaries of those who are recently hired tend to be much higher than the salaries of those who have been employed at Experian for a while; it’s nearly impossible to bring an existing employee’s salary to market levels unless that employee secures another offer and is a real threat to leave
