Pros

Senior leadership mostly smart and credible, but Don Robert has never run anything this large, everything he does is for the first time and it has been that way for years. With the death of CFO Paul Brooks, the thought leadership and mangement of the company is weakened. Senior HR leader stayed in place, retired on the job, seemed to lack the will to change anything. Global HR leader good at managing up, that's about it. Chris Callero likeable, intuitive, smart, but not well educated or sophisticated in ways a global COO typically is. Fast pace environment is stimulating. Work environment is flexible, accomodating lifestyles.

Cons

Dated technology. Poor tools. Lower pay than market, often... "Know it, and don't care." Little/no opportunity for movement, except in pockets (finance dept does it well). Despite knowing movement develops people, EXPN doesn't do it, and not much promotion from within. Not thoughtful about senior leader selection, e.g. Dorival. No clear value proposition for employees. Writing it for years now, nothing of particular distinction. Strategy unclear. Employees always talk about it in global people survey.

Pros

QAS is full of energy and hard workers who want successful careers. When you work here you are surrounded by people who are or will be extremely successful. Management works very hard to develop you as a professional and get you to where you want to be. One of the most valuable benefits you are offered is career training - take full advantage.

Cons

The price you pay for rapid career growth and professional development is work-life balance. Management has heard this complaint from many employees and has taken steps to achieve greater balance but this will never be a 9 - 5 culture, it is work hard (& smart), play hard. Some people thrive on this, some people get burned out.

Pros

Exposure to the normal side of the Experian business.

Cons

The management team is completely incompetent. Don't work for this company. If you are starting your career they will not guide you correctly; if you are experienced they will ruin your career. QAS has an extremely, extremely BAD reputation in the industry. Avoid this organization. There are like 20 similar companies in Boston that are better. And they wonder why the burnout / churn is like 60%?
