Pros

TransUnion manages employee workflow very well in their implementation (Scrum) of the Agile framework, and keeps employees busy, without often feeling overwhelmed. If you like the consistency and predictability of large corporations, you will likely enjoy your employment here.

Cons

Many high-level executives are hired from other or competing organizations, and there is some stagnation when it comes to internal promotions. Mechanistically meeting a deliverable is almost always considered more important than creative, human contribution, and the growth of individuals through applied passion for technology. This is likely compounded by the nature of many large corporations, with such a major emphasis on highly predictable project management, combined with the Agile framework itself.

TransUnion Response

Thank you for sharing your review of your time at TU. I appreciate your feedback on our Agile transformation - we've been working hard to make progress on this front. I'm disappointed to read the cons in your review - your experience was not in line with my vision for technology at TransUnion. I strongly believe in the human element of innovation and I want my teams to share that mindset. We hope by promoting that culture, our employees will continue to develop and grow into new roles. - Mohit Kapoor, CTO

Pros

In your down time, if you're caught up on tickets you can basically do whatever you want granted, you're still attentive to phone calls No overbearing managers checking in on you

Cons

Company feels very disorganized TransUnion uses SalesForce as their main ticketing system, and it is not maintained at all. When a new account manager takes over an account, half the time they do not update who the account manager is in SalesForce or they will simply create a new account. You'll receive a lot of complaints from customers informing you they do not know who their account manager. I've been told by customers that Experian and Equifax list who their account manager is when they log into their accounts. A lot of times you'll be sent on a wild goose chase to track down who the actual account manager is. There are many accounts with the same name or a slightly altered name. For example, there will be walmart, WalMart, WALMART, and you will have to figure out which is the most up to date account for the customer. Some account managers flat out ignore calls and emails from their customers which ends up causing more work for you since they'll be calling and emailing whatever number and/or email they can, and you'll team majority of the time receives the brunt of it. Feels less like IT/technical work and more like a call center where your sole objective is to push tickets and direct tickets to the correct location. There will be many tickets you are unable to resolve on your own because you do not have the correct permissions. Unfortunately, this role is the catch all net for when the system, customers, or other TransUnion employees are unsure who to go to for an issue, meaning, you'll also receive a lot of tickets that do not fall into your scope. For example, you'll receive tickets for billing and invoices, account managers not responding to customers, questions about websites/applications you do not know, and more. A lot of the login error tickets could be reduced if TransUnion websites informed the customer what the issue is. For example, instead of the website informing the customer their account has been locked, or they need to perform a password reset, the website will only tell the customer to contact the 1-800 number, which also creates more work for you. There's honestly a lot more wrong with this position that makes you basically feel like you are the bottom of the barrel, but I only have so much energy
