      Cultivates a culture of mediocrity - Software Architect Experian Employee Review

      Pros

      They used to pay engineers really well back then.

      Cons

      Office politics are more important than quality or real results; this applies to all levels of management except, sometimes, your direct manager. Also, they teach you that "consumers" (i.e. people whose info is reported to credit bureaus) aren't the same as "clients" or "customers", which results in a culture that doesn't really care if "consumers" are affected by what you do, as long as you comply with laws like FCRA and such.

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

      There are really no cons that I can think of.

      Pros

      Decent salary & benefits, monthly no internal meeting days

      Cons

      Friendly reminder that HR does not care about you. They care about staff with seniority, whom they will allow to retaliate despite that being against company policies. Think twice about reporting the higher ups because it will come back to haunt you, guaranteed. Also, AI is the only thing that matters anymore. Watching the volume of once-impressive colleagues become so single and simple minded through constant AI usage is not only disappointing but genuinely alarming. Thinking for oneself is no longer the standard, it seems, and speaking against such unfettered use of AI in all things will get you professionally ostracized.
