Pros

Was a great place to work with great management until they laid everyone off-- including the great management.

Cons

They laid off my entire team including my manager who I got along with. Word on the grapevine is that all hiring in the US was frozen, and teams were told if you needed anyone, hire from India. They have a shop in India so they are immune to upcoming H1B reforms. They kept a lot of people who were, frankly, useless.

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.
