Pros

TransUnion is a wonderful company. The group I worked in was certainly a smaller part of the larger TransUnion but this is the first time in my career I felt the company really did "care" about people and care about being good social stewards. Honestly, I didn't think I cared about the social steward piece but something about the vibe it gave to the culture was great. The pay is competitive and there have been misc bonuses for each of the years I was there - from "cash awards" that were actually meaningful sums, to 401k awards. The people I worked with were genuinely good people and I miss working with them. Work life balance was good. Finally, the work was challenging and engaging. I found it to be very satisfying and enjoyed my time at TransUnion.

Cons

The business unit I was in was one of the smaller ones. It left little room for advancement beyond mid-career level. Otherwise, the major con was lack of maturity in the infosec group that didn't seem to understand how to work into software life cycles and business needs which caused all kinds of problems in trying to run a business that could have been better managed through basic communications.

Pros

Friday morning bagels & donuts!

Cons

You get paid to sit in front of three computers and do nothing. Not enough work for a 9 hour shift. Horrible pay. No proper training.

I'm sorry to hear your experience at TransUnion hasn't been as positive as we would hope. If you're not feeling challenged, I would highly encourage you to talk to your manager - we want you to have meaningful work and know that the work you're doing is making a difference. I'd also suggest that you look into tools and resources we offer to continue building your capabilities. As you know, we recently launched LinkedIn Learning, which is a great tool to learn new skills. If you have any other feedback to share or would like to discuss how you feel we've missed the mark on salary, please reach out to me directly. - Anne Leyden, EVP HR
