Pros

Significant opportunity for growth, many opportunities to receive training on new skills, supportive management team and a team-oriented culture. Experian QAS is great place to start and grow your career. The management structure puts a great deal of emphasis on people and their development. I was able to join the company in an administrative role and grow into a management position across my five years with QAS. Senior management does a great job of proactively engaging with employees to understand what challenges they face and what they can do to make the overall employee experience better. It truly is a people-first culture. If you want to work at a high energy organization that rewards and develops its people, this is a great company to be with.

Cons

QAS asks a great deal of its employees, but for those who rise to the challenge, they're rewarded with significant career growth and opportunity.

Pros

Salary/bonus structure are competitive. Most people are nice, friendly and pleasant to work with. Campus is clean, nice and up-to-date. Most people in functions other than IT and finance seem to be content.

Cons

Company is very political. Kissing up to VP's is the key to get ahead. Company's growth is driven by acquisitions, off-shoring (Chile/Costa Rica), importing IT consultants from India, and moving jobs to lower wage states such as Texas and Arkansas. Finance and IT are seen by management as overhead and not as key partners. Finance is chronically understaffed in corporate and most business units (with the exception of the overstaffed semi-autonomous Consumer Direct business unit). Finance upper management is completely out of touch with the work "in the trenches". Managing up and sucking up are key to success. Coaching and development of staff is give lip service but is not really done in practice.

Pros

Competitive salary, good benefits, nice offices, work/life balance - for me it is a great location and convenient to many great places to eat & shop. My overall impression is that upper management truly wants Experian to be a great place to work.

Cons

Business verticals not always strategically aligned, but understand they are aware to some degree of this and are working on smoothing it out. Lots and lots of meetings.
