Pros

People / Colleagues - There are some brilliant people here. Friendly, passionate and intelligent. - There are regular department wide social events and I enjoy working with the rest of my team. Agile working - The transition to agile (scrum) with teams focused on areas of expertise has been brilliant. It's like night and day compared to a couple of years ago. More is being produced to a much higher standard. - Improvements in our Project Management function is also paying dividends leading to better prioritization of work and relationships with our global clients and stakeholders. Embracing change - Related to the above, we are starting to see the results of a lot of hard work with a much better product range. Will be good to see this make an impact. Career - I have colleagues who have moved to / from other Experian divisions. It's a massive company with lots of national and international opportunities that you can explore if you are a decent employee and want to.

Cons

The appalling Dell 'Help'desk for IT support. It seems a bit easy for senior management to slip back to the 'old'/non-agile mentality. There is a weird, unhelpful distance between the Sales departments, tech departments and the 'Strategic Plan'. Pay - not sure about this to be honest. Fairly sure I could get more elsewhere but I think that would always be the case.

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.
