Pros

Social CSR community work

Cons

Heads/ directors/ managers have no technical knowledge. Purely messengers from HQ to push development half the time hence cramping codes. Doesn't address root cause but purely meeting their own personal agendas. Political plays aplenty.

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.
