Pros

Experian is a great place to work if you are a very strong contributor and are looking for a stable environment where you can work for many years. As you build your tenure, your time off allotment grows tremendously. I get 25 vacation days a year. This is in addition to 5 sick days and 10 paid holidays. The hours are pretty flexible and you can work from home on occasion or even frequently depending on your boss. The health benefits are outstanding and they match 100% on your 401(k) up to 4%.

Cons

Don't expect much of a raise or a promotion. Raises are typically 3% a year, even if you have a good year. Layoffs are a common occurrence as the company is constantly cutting costs. Technology and operations jobs are being shipped to South America. If you are a top performer and have been around a while, you should have little to worry about, but you will have to work even harder due to fewer people to carry the workload. The company is ultra conservative, often to the detriment of growing the business. This means fewer career growth opportunities because most areas of the company are not growing.

Pros

Good work-life balance, fair, hybrid. Opportunities if you are in business or sales. Avoid if looking for a technical career.

Cons

Experian publicly advertises that they are a technology company, but operationally if you want to move ahead, in the business and sales area is where you want to be. Very little opportunity for engineers and technical. Experian has become more of a Fintech company in the last 5 years and leaves them vulnerable in bad economies.
