Pros

People are intelligent, friendly and committed to their jobs. Global business with good range of benefits. Good at promoting internally. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Innovation can be hampered by technical constraints. Money-saving attempts negatively impact productivity and quality of working life, eg: having to call an outsourced IT helpdesk instead of having someone on site to solve problems.

If you can stay off the radar, you can probably eek out a pretty good career for a few years at Experian Consumer Direct

Director

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible work schedule if you are part of any supervisory role. Challenging work environment. Great place to get your "feet wet" in a Fortune 500 company and learn the ins and outs of corporate politics.

Cons

Lay offs were like clockwork at the end of every fiscal year (April). Vision and strategy of the company would COMPLETELY change direction based on mid year financial projections. This often meant the customer got the short end of the stick. Good ol boys club at Executive mgmt level with a huge amount of alpha females in all depts. who would not hesitate to backstab/sell out team members on their way up the ladder. Lot's of silos even though we were always told that they had been broken down. Taking time off was encouraged publicly but privately it was strongly "suggested" that you work from home/vacation or else your job might be deemed expendable. Very much a "what have you done for me lately" environment at times.
