Pros

If you aspire to be a sales person, I think they teach good discipline about smiling & dialing and honestly qualifying a sales opportunity.

Cons

No respect for marketing as a contributor to business success. High churn overall and especially a revolving door in the marketing department. Company is 100% sales focused. I joined the company because I had a great set of interviews with the Marketing Director. 2 days after I joined, the small marketing department went out for drinks to celebrate the fact that we had completed our annual metrics a full quarter early. The next day the Marketing Director was fired, presumably because she asked for a promotion or a raise or something, which, evidently, she deserved. That kicked off a year of hell where I worked my butt off and then I was unceremoniously fired by the Marketing Director's incompetent replacement. That replacement Marketing Director lasted another month before he was fired. Wow! Shameful!

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.
