Pros

Great work life balance. You get lots of holidays, plenty of days off, and no one balks at working from home regardless of which team you are on. 401k match is great with immediate vesting and the health plans are affordable and have low deductibles/out of pocket maximums. The bonus structure is great and you can get spot bonuses for various achievements like acing a project or submitting a patent application.

Cons

The team you are on will make or break you, as some teams are using or close to using the latest and greatest technology while others are still using VB6, Access, and old .NET frameworks. You often have to change teams in order to move up and some managers have unrealistic expectations and timelines. Since the recent president of the Experian Health unit left, that unit became far more corporate and lost the family feel it kept wanting to maintain.

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.
