Experian Review

Pros

Remote work option available. Great work location. Good benefits (401k both normal and Roth options, good health coverage with HSA account option, access to Experian's credit monitoring, flexible time off, bonuses available yearly.)

Cons

No trust from upper management Poor work environment (small, crowded, and loud) Innovation from top down, rather than getting advice from the technical experts. Whatever the buzz word of the month is will be what they want to innovate on. Bonus structure for IT is based on outage minutes globally. Before initiating this, they had a year focused on dropping outage minutes as far as they could. Now they expect us to keep up those minutes without any downtime windows. No clear accountability or responsibility assigned to groups. Multiple town hall meetings and surveys performed to find out the issues within the company, but nothing ever done to fix them.

Pros

If you are happy with a dull, drab path to nowhere and a below average commission plan this is the place to be. Well known Stable $5B company. Great health and benefits Lots of data available to sell

Cons

Horrendous compensation plan. Get an attorney to review it before you sign it. Promotions are based on internal politics. Don't go here if you want to make more than $200K. Largely Incompetent management structure. Happy to be part of the 3-bureau Oligopoly and makes virtually no efforts past that. Tries to enter business verticals that they do not understand and compounds the problems by placing incompetent and inexperienced leaders in the roles to lead the organisation. Leadership comp is based on EBIT, sales people are paid on what delivers - a clash of interests. Consistently hires a higher than average percentage of lazy sales people who add no value to the company.
