Pros

Good benefits, the company is trying really hard to recruit millennials at the expense of older workers and seasoned employees. Flex hours, on-site gym+classes, game rooms, a room with treadmill desks, open floor plans unless you’re a head honcho and get an office. If you are not hourly you get FTO for unlimited vacation which started 2018.

Cons

“Frat culture” with mostly white males in management. Lots of closed door meetings with people who are in the in-crowd. If you’re a minority you can just forget it-if you’re a minority woman you will be pushed out. believe it. Same with LGBT-keep that under wraps, the frat boy mentality will marginalize you without a second thought. Very cliquey in most departments. Management doesn’t encourage helping others anymore-if you spend too much time with someone they start coming out of their offices to see what you’re doing. Trying hard to be a technology company-but at the expense of credit bureau history. Unusual amount of alcohol at company events and activities, and drinking to excess is not only approved but encouraged. If you decline it’s not looked at favorably. This is maybe the last 3-4 years. People who have opinions are not welcome-fall in line or get ready to be let go. HR is not interested in anything but lawsuits so do not bother. If anything they will go to your manager and give them more ammunition. Not a positive place unless you are immune to the issues above.

TransUnion Response

As the Chief Human Resources Officer, and as a fellow associate, I am truly concerned about the issues you have raised. The company you describe here is not the kind of company I want for us – for any of us. I would welcome a conversation and an opportunity to address all of what you have described. If I, or any member of management, have given you the impression that we would not welcome the outreach or that I, or the HR team, would not act on anything of concern – that simply is not the case. If you are uncomfortable reaching out to me – I would encourage you to reach out to Heather Russell, our Chief Legal Officer. Heather would keep your conversation entirely confidential and pursue any appropriate actions that should be taken as well. I look forward to hearing from you. Please call me on my office or cell number (which are published internally here at the company). - Anne Leyden, EVP HR
