Pros

- No shortage of very smart, skilled and passionate people. - Decent investment in employee development, and recent work is technically exciting. - Open work environment and mixed-capability teams provide great opportunities to connect and learn. - Relaxed attitude to working from home.

Cons

- Progression is very hit-or-miss; some superstars are deservedly promoted, but overall progression is limited. - Highly-regulated market and geographically-distributed decision makers can slow down innovation. - Travel between UK & US offices extremely limited despite frequent need to work together.

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.
