Great place to work, some downsides but no dealbreakers

Advisor (Current Employee) - Nottingham - 6 October 2022

Experian operate a clear role profile so you know whether you need to be in the office sometimes, all the time or never. That’s great. My time was sometimes in the office which translated to around once per month. The team were great, especially welcoming and knowledgeable, however there was very little team building and as such I didn’t really get to know anyone. This could also be the mostly remote arrangement, it’s so hard to get to know people that way. There doesn’t seem to be much opportunity for advancement at the lower levels of the hierarchy. There is a lot of encouragement to develop but in reality, little time to do so. There is a high degree of accuracy required to do the job and you need to be always on, which is fine, but honestly the pay doesn’t match up to those requirements or the request for anyone to have any skills to bring to the company.

Pros

Great office, flexible working, great people, cheap on site canteen

Cons

Pay could be better, no real development

Depends which department you are at

Senior PM (Former Employee) - Remote - 2 August 2022

As in every company, some departments get more funding and attention and others don't. Ask about plans for the next 3 years at least.It is up to your ingenuity to carve your way to where you want to be.Lots of processes and repetition.

Not a good place to work

Engineer (Former Employee) - Nottingham - 21 May 2022

Not a good place to work in.Team members appeared great, but were a tremendously competitive and back-stabbing lot.Management could not be more disconnected from the real world their employees live in, definitely up to their necks in internal office politics and certainly two-faced in most dealings.Half of their infrastructure is amazing, the other half grotesquely ancient, and all of it managed via spreadsheets.

Either your face fits or it doesn't

Sales and Marketing (I don't want to be more specific) (Former Employee) - London and Nottingham - 22 June 2021

Disclaimer -- I left Experian in 2015 and it's possible that they've revolutionised themselves in that period. Also, it's very important to note that like all big enterprises, they comprise many small teams. You may be joining a great team with a great manager. Well done. I joined a cliquey team with a boss who sucked up to the most powerful personalities. I felt like an outsider when I joined and felt like an outsider when I was made redundant 3 years later. My work was always well rated but I couldn't break through the glass barriers that kept me from making progress. I hope that others have better luck.

Pros

Good salary

Cons

Pot luck if you get a decent boss or not.

Could be great, could be terrible - make sure you click with your manager

Account Director (Former Employee) - London - 1 April 2021

Worked there on and off for about 12 years... Had great times and had a bad time with them - depends which you office you end up in. Stay clear from the EDQ part of the business unless you like old-fashioned sales!

Pros

Big company

Cons

Can be treated like a number!

Don't practice what they preach

Recruitment Consultant (Former Employee) - Riverleen - 11 January 2021

I wanted to join due to the company values they expressed on their website. I was massively let down. For the most part, it felt like a culture of back stabbing and me, myself and I. Make sure you always cover your back would be my advice.

Pros

End of month free lunch

Cons

Negative culture

Fast Paced and Challenging

Operations (Former Employee) - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire - 17 June 2020

Experian operates predominantly in the financial sector which changes at an exceptional rate. To stay ahead there is therefore a constant need for the company to change and evolve to meet client needs. This creates a face paced and challenging environment.
