Pros

There's many lovely people working there

Cons

Pay is well below where it should be. You'll find many people who do far less work getting paid far more. People who actually do the work get paid nothing for it. They also forget that to carry out your job effectively, you need specialist knowledge which is built up over time and this is not reflected in your pay at all. Underappreciated. Treated as if just disposable and not really cared about. Lack of understanding of the training and skills required for the job. Management completely do not understand what your job actually involves (do not try to) and do not listen to anyone actually working the job. Expect you to work an unreasonable work load. Had managers complain about feeling sick watching me flip between systems on my computer when trying to do something for them - if it makes your head hurt following this for 2 minutes, imagine having to work at that speed all day. Absolutely no room for career development and too few people actually care about staff improving in their career. Management use those who are trying to progress to get extra work out of them without giving anything back. Ultimately you will remain in the same position and on the same pay. Targets are completely unreasonable. Regularly ask for survey feedback but nothing actually changes and they don't even acknowledge the many negative points raised by staff in the surveys. Your job will grow to encompass everything but you will get nothing back for taking on the extra work and will be given the same rating as everyone else in your end of year. Lot's of changes implemented by people higher up executed terribly and then left for those at the bottom to deal with all the resulting issues.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed working with many of your colleagues at Experian, while being frustrated at times. We take great strides to ensure our pay structure and compensation packages are competitive in the market. There are also many levels of employee recognition at Experian, ranging from peer-to-peer acknowledgement to regional recognition of contributions to the company aligned with our corporate values, The Experian Way. We encourage our employees to take advantage of the variety of training programs offered – several are even self-directed and free for any employee who wants to register. We continue to work on our communication efforts so that our employees know their voices are heard through feedback and survey results and are being incorporated into action plans. Thanks again for your feedback as it will help us improve even further.

Pros

Decent salary & benefits, monthly no internal meeting days

Cons

Friendly reminder that HR does not care about you. They care about staff with seniority, whom they will allow to retaliate despite that being against company policies. Think twice about reporting the higher ups because it will come back to haunt you, guaranteed. Also, AI is the only thing that matters anymore. Watching the volume of once-impressive colleagues become so single and simple minded through constant AI usage is not only disappointing but genuinely alarming. Thinking for oneself is no longer the standard, it seems, and speaking against such unfettered use of AI in all things will get you professionally ostracized.
