Pros

Excellent compensation, flexible work plans, good benefits, diversified business, global presence. Competes against some lackluster companies (e.g. equifax) - growing international which could pay big dividends in the future. Establishing credit markets in developing countries could prove to be a big win in the next 3-5 years. Has some high growth interactive business.

Cons

Lack of strategy, UK based/London Stock exchange, Tightly aligned with Credit markets, Viewed as credit business vs. information solutions company. Generally, low moral for the employee base. Company continues to offshore and nearshore it's IT staffing to central and latin america. employees regularly not in the know on overall profit performance which there bonus structure is tied too.

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.
