Pros

Great for a first job, early responsibility and working with talented young people. Fun work-life balance, lots of company events. Not your typical, boring software company! The sales team play a big part in a competitve, meritocratic culture, the huge profit margins, as typical in a good software company, means the company can afford to splash out on corporate events.

Cons

There's very little time for training/development unrelated to the dayjob. It's an efficient system but after leaving you find you haven't developed that much. At the end of the day your job is developing postcode software which is neither the most glamorous nor most satisfying of careers.

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.
