Not a Great Experience | APPSEC - Senior Penetration Tester Experian Employee Review

Great work culture! Everyone is welcoming. I really like the work-life balance.

There are really no cons that I can think of.

The fact they had Remote work

In my experience, management lacked consistency, transparency, and empathy when addressing employee concerns. After dedicating nearly 16 years to the company, I felt my years of service and commitment were not meaningfully considered when employment decisions were made. I received my first disciplinary action in February 2026 related to FMLA reporting requirements. From my perspective, I was placed on a final corrective action without prior coaching or progressive discipline, which I found surprising after many years with the company. A few months later, I was terminated following a security-related incident while working remotely. I felt I was not given a meaningful opportunity to explain the circumstances before the decision was made, leaving me with the impression that the outcome had already been determined. I also experienced frustration when seeking guidance from Human Resources regarding bereavement policies. I did not feel my concerns were fully addressed or that I received clear explanations to help me understand the company’s position. Overall, I left feeling unsupported and believing that HR’s primary role was to protect the organization’s interests rather than advocate for employees. While every workplace must uphold policies and compliance standards, I believe there should also be room for fairness, open communication, and consideration of an employee’s long-standing dedication and overall performance. My experience left me feeling undervalued and, ultimately, discarded after nearly 16 years of loyal service.
