Pros

Global company with possible overseas opportunities. Bonus plan is fair (if entire company meets the goals.) Benefits are industry average. If you are loyal, they will be loyal too. Company has many divisions and opportunities within, if given the chance.

Cons

Senior Management micromanages too much, company is always reactive instead of proactive, going public was the worst thing that ever happened to the company. Company has extremely high turnover rate, many employees work overtime without being compensated. Senior management does not communicate down well and is often trying to change course without any real thought.

Pros

Excellent compensation, flexible work plans, good benefits, diversified business, global presence. Competes against some lackluster companies (e.g. equifax) - growing international which could pay big dividends in the future. Establishing credit markets in developing countries could prove to be a big win in the next 3-5 years. Has some high growth interactive business.

Cons

Lack of strategy, UK based/London Stock exchange, Tightly aligned with Credit markets, Viewed as credit business vs. information solutions company. Generally, low moral for the employee base. Company continues to offshore and nearshore it's IT staffing to central and latin america. employees regularly not in the know on overall profit performance which there bonus structure is tied too.

Pros

Great place to gain experience. International spirit Positive attitude towards people Although it is quite hard to get promoted in Experian, it turned that if you demonstrate your results patiently to your managers, finally they will notice it and get you promoted.

Cons

No clear vision for the future It is not clear that the leaders know what they are doing Great unused potential - different regions acting as separate companies Sales are promoted much faster than others. If you are Business development - in the right place in the right time, you could have a tremendous career in Experian. A lot of knowledgeable people have left the company and all of us can feel it.
