Fast-paced, team-oriented, decent pay, you'll never get promoted

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Plenty of opportunity to learn new things. The corporate culture is very team-oriented, everyone pulls their own weight (which is very hard to come by) and everyone is willing to help out when a coworker needs it.

Cons

Sometimes demanding clients and a corporate culture of doing EVERYTHING the client wants, no matter how unreasonable. The company is not doing so well financially right now, so raises and promotions are much harder to come by.

Account Executive (BIS) - Great Job To Horrendous Job In Less Than 1 Year

Account executive

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company benefits are actually very good as far as PTO, 401K match, insurance and stock programs are concerned. The Schaumburg campus is nice, clean and relatively easy to get to.

Cons

Sales goals for BIS are completely unrealistic given that there is absolutely no investment in the products or marketing whatsoever. How a business unit that fails to hit its goals last year sets higher, even more unattainable targets this year without any additional investment in the business is mindboggling. The curent idea of brining in cheaper, less experienced sales reps is not the answer either as there is absolutely zero training aside from one day of webinars. Managment at all levels is absolutely atrocious as none of them have any experience in the credit or sales and run the organization like a bank not an information services company/credit bureau. This is literally the only company I have ever seen that promotes/hires sales managers with ZERO sales experience!

Pros

Good and talented people within Tech

Cons

Culture of blame from the business New Tech Sr. Management keeps cycling through and trying the exact same things that didn't work the last time Core platform developed in Perl and decision made to stay on outdated original platform with tons of technical debt making it impossible to develop anything quickly Hard to hire Perl developers since there aren't that many
