Yesterday, someone from Jobstreet called me regarding the position Java Developer in Experian. I said I was interested and they will forward my resume to Experian. When i checked inside the Jobstreet website, I found out Experian is having Walk in Interview on 25th Apr (which is today!). I'm not prepared for the walk in interview today because im busy with my work lately, and have other things to do this weekends.

Is Experian still hiring after this for that position? I love programming but not very strong in J2EE (J2SE i can)...its just not my luck to go for today. Ruginyaa...

Please help.

I had go for the walk in interview yesterday , they provide a test for u , 20 objective questions with multiple choice and one correct answer only , i get the result 15/60 mark, it mean FAIL , i get shock when i saw the score because the question is not hard for me , i was request to have a look to the test paper which they already mark and i noticed that actually i hit more that 10 question is correct .

just wonder the formula to calculate the score, get the correct answer for more than 10 over 20 just give me 15 marks? really weird and special formula.

when i wish to ask that guy , he is answer me : dont ask me any question , i am HR ppl , dont know how actually they give the mark and technical thing........

Anyway this is good experiance for my first walk in interview , have fun ya

You got the questions correct doesn't mean you have provided the best answer.

Because each of the answer may give you difference scores. wink.gif

I am going to the interview. I was just wondering wat kind of java technology you guys are using. For example. Are you using struts or JSF. What kind of J2EE packages do you use. The more you can share with me technology wise the better.

laugh.gif i had better luck, I met with one the architects and I discussed the paper with him. I am glad that I met with him he was so down to earth yet so knowledgable notworthy.gif that tells the company is really worth joining.

I failed the paper also, but I will brush up my skills and read more about the related technical areas. Wish I can join them when they have new openings.

Any other post besides programmer?? Learn programming in C++, Java, HTML, Perl, VB, OOP, PHP, SQL in college, but only in Higher Diploma level only, not strong enough to apply for the job. Have to take a Degree then only consider.

for me..different story.

managerial position.
the VP that interviewed me ticked...that I will be hired. well, childish I would state, he wrote in front of my resume "To be hired".

he called the HR, but the HR went out for lunch...or something...
so, the VP said, he'll have them call me in 2 days time to set the hiring...
a week later after no news....said I was not shortlisted....

i was like..."what is happening?".
VP says hire, and then now different story?... something worth pondering.
I'm not sure if there are some "ganged-up" special recommendation this-that..people that got in via contacts....

shhessshh...
I cannot believe if this happens. I emailed to the VP, but I should have known it would fall into deaf ears...VP is from US...nice man, and had a really good vision for the company, but alas...

It depends on what would you consider great working. The projects are tough indeed but we don't rush them like the usual small/medium companies do as we practice Agile methodologies (Scrum). So I can say that usually, 5.30pm is time to go home or chilling out at the recreation rooms. and yes, Experian Decision Analytics is a Software R&D centre.

i mean you are free to internet access?...coz some company block certain site, while some you are not allowed to go online at all.

1st interview session - answer some question on papers, most likely on technical
2nd interview session - meet HR manager to discuss salary and so on

am i correct on this? so this will take at least 2 days process?

anyhow, whats the working time culture like? 9am-6pm? then all go home?..or often ppl OT till late at night?

Out of interest our hit rate on applicants is about 1:12, that is for every 12 pax I see we hire 1. I'd rather hire for quality than quantity - but that's another discussion.

Ive went for the test as a "PHP" developer last week,
and to my disappointment, i wasnt granted a single interview, because ive so called "fail"ed their test.

What im disappointed wasnt because i didnt pass the test, but i didnt "get" the chance to voice out my opinions on those questions they gave me.

I went in, straight to meet up "Su", and have the test.
Office was quite okay, but it was friday, so i see everyone on casual.

Okay fine.
I made so much preparation, went to ODesk, took their "PHP", "MySQL", "CSS2" tests, and all past 70+%

I even did several questions from zend sample, and i was thinking yeah, i guess i pretty much cover most of the requirement.
But NOOooo....

Here is how are some of the questions looks like:
---------------------

Who is the king of programmer?
p/s: what? am i suppose to know this? is this going to help in my work? o.. really? if ive an option to write my own, i will say "me"
---------------------

some of the options include slashdot, msdn, sitepoint and others...
p/s: helo? my development site is "google". 1 search there, i get straight to the forum / "developer site" of which i need. Why should i border?
Unless ive a unique question that i need to solve, or im so free to contribute in one of those forum.
But i myself have contributed quite some notes in php.net itself, under my identity u007 or c00lways.

Drupal, wordpress, joomla, zendframework, cakephp, symphony, code ignitter and more...
But come-on, how am i suppose to know about all of JAVA or RUBY or PYTHON framework?

---------------------

Which of the following SQL contains error?
2 Options make me wonder (forgot the name and value):
- select field1 from emp where field1='xxx';
- select field1 from emp where field2=`xxxx';
p/s: and then i'm wondering, it wouldnt make sense to select the field with that value if you already know the value,
unless you want to check if the value exists, but then 2nd answer make me worry
if the person who typed this document forgotten that m$ word actually converted all starting ' to `
Which 1 have error? im kind of speechless here

---------------------

Excluding those irrevelant questions, im quite satisfy with some of the questions which include recursive function call,
and some logic question which took me some time to draw out the table chart to get the answer.
But i think there wasnt enough question to test people on the PHP and MySQL to be in there.


I'm keen to hear from Experian HR / director / CEO regarding their objective and plans for Experian.
If im in technical management level, i would concentrate on several criteria below:
+ the candidate meet certain level of test score, not too high, and exclude those irrelevant questions...
+ ensure that canditate is up-to-date with the development of the language their using, such as OOP, code reuse, Model-View-Controller concept
+ ensure canditate knows and concern about several security problem which may occur from cross site scripting, SQL injection and others
+ view candidate past portfolio and what he/she have done to improve site development speed and security
+ makesure ive interview with the person to see their communication skill to ensure that their are able to express their opinions
+ listen to canditate on what kind of tough situation that he/she have face and how he/she have managed to solve those issue, especially with use of teamwork and open source technology (ok, this is php, and it meants open source)
+ view some of candidate codes. As this is important to know if the person practise code convention and if the person take time to comment his/her code. As a company, im not interested to see my programmer code something fancy just to show off their abilities, but become a hassle and big questions to other programmer trying to pickup from where they have left. Ive seen too many problems with egoistic coding.
+ and check out what candidate have been doing to keep him/herself up to date with latest technology and what passionate them about those recent technologies...
+ listen to candidate plans for their future career path, to see how he/she will fit in which position available in the company
+ and any way to see how the person cooperate as a team ... (which of is still something i'm pondering on)

I think in any work environment, most important is that the team player must be able to adapt to company environment and framework.
As everyone comes from so many different background, the person has to be able to play along / in tune with company frequency.
And culture of toyota (kaizen) would be great to be implemented in all level of the company.
Blame culture should be eliminated and leaders and management should be open and gentle to employees opinions.

In my dream company, i would prefer everyone be open to opinions and debate without the culture of pointing fingers @ each other when something went wrong.
I do belief that if something went wrong, it isnt just 1 side wrong, its both side mistake. One side fail to voice out their problem while another side fail to help.


Experian people? May i hear your opinions?

Sure: Back in 2008 EDA (Experian Decision Analytics) was looking to open a new R&D center - to compliment 6 others spread globally. I was pushing KL as a great place to do this. So..  we ended up with a new office of 120 pax for EDA R&D.
That has gone down well with the board, as they can see it's a great office, so they are now opening another R&D center for the Marketing Services division of about the same number of people.
In future there's talk of an even bigger office - but thats still all grey future.

Because of all this we needed to hire 120 pax in the first 1.5 yrs and now another 120 pax in the next 1.5 yrs.

Out of interest our hit rate on applicants is about 1:12, that is for every 12 pax I see we hire 1. I'd rather hire for quality than quantity - but that's another discussion.

Experian's consumer website is here: http://www.experian.com/ but that is very credit report focussed (UK/US)
You can get a better idea from the group site (http://www.experianplc.com/) or the EDA site (http://www.experian-da.com/).

I think that's enough selling on my part ;o) I didnt want to turn this into a recruitment thread, but you asked wink.gif

Cheers everyone,

i'm not from experian... this is just my opinion as developer...
as a developer... u might need(or must) to know that .... not to expert on that particular thing... just to know basic thing about it... u can't just on ur 'PHP' world... sometimes, there's situation where u need to do some integration or communication with other framework or programming language... there's certain thing that PHP can't speak... so in that point u need help from other language....
we know the power of PHP... but knowing/combining more than 1 programming language will be more powerful.....

sorry if not answering ur question.. just my 2cent ....

Ive went for the test as a "PHP" developer last week,
and to my disappointment, i wasnt granted a single interview, because ive so called "fail"ed their test.

What im disappointed wasnt because i didnt pass the test, but i didnt "get" the chance to voice out my opinions on those questions they gave me.

I went in, straight to meet up "Su", and have the test.
Office was quite okay, but it was friday, so i see everyone on casual.

Okay fine.
I made so much preparation, went to ODesk, took their "PHP", "MySQL", "CSS2" tests, and all past 70+%

I even did several questions from zend sample, and i was thinking yeah, i guess i pretty much cover most of the requirement.
But NOOooo....

Here is how are some of the questions looks like:
---------------------

Who is the king of programmer?
p/s: what? am i suppose to know this? is this going to help in my work? o.. really? if ive an option to write my own, i will say "me"
---------------------

Which of the following are developer site?
some of the options include slashdot, msdn, sitepoint and others...
p/s: helo? my development site is "google". 1 search there, i get straight to the forum / "developer site" of which i need. Why should i border?

really, if the test really pissed you off, the company is so and so.
you may find the environment on your 1st inspection quite good, but with that kind of test questions, you can guess more of less the so-call pro/senior is what level.

you may work in a good environment, but can you stand moron?

if no, then forget them.

Dear mbcx4jrh,

I've got this question to you, when I went for Interview with HR Director, he told me I entitle to 20days AL, somehow, when I got the Offer Letter, it stated 15 days AL, and the remaining 5 days is Study Leave. Would like to ask, what if I do NOT enrol to any study plan or course, do I still eligible to take the entire 20days AL or I am entitle to take 15 days AL as stated in the Offer Letter?

Meantime, is the entire Experian moving to Ericsson building or only certain team will be moving over?

Thanks.

Hi mbcx4jrh,

Thanks for the info, but I still doubt, if I do NOT have any study, will I be entitled to 15 days AL or 20 days AL by converting my 5 days Study Leave to AL?

Thanks

Hi, I would like to ask... I understand that Experian do sponsor some certifications training, is that true? Does this comes under the study leave or training leave? Meaning study leave is for ur own personal developement - self-developement courses, etc. ?

Well that's very nice of you.
Here's my thoughts on tests - from an employers POV.

A test is a way of filtering large number of applicants down to a manageable number to interview. As such the questions try and focus on key areas the hiring manager requires. Some might be happy with a generic <insert language here> test, however we (and others) focus on certain aspects that we require *as a baseline*.
Test questions might be anything from fundamental principles (eg. logic), to API knowledge, to general knowledge.

But they do just provide a filter. Sometimes you get false positives (unsuitable applicant passes), sometimes you get false negatives (suitable applicant fails). Although this can seem (and indeed is) personal to the applicant, it is just a game of numbers to the hirer.

As an example I've got through 1,400 CVs in the past 12 months. If I'd have reviewed each CV properly it would have taken nearly 8 months work. To interview, would taken that up to 23.5 months.

The message I'm trying to get across is that you should not consider a fail at any particular test or interview for *any* company a personal thing.

The company will be looking for *suitable* employees - this doesnt just mean skills, it can mean personal attitude, team work, culture, language, etc etc. Some companies might even hire based on a willingness to work 12hr days 6 days a week (not me though!).

Just some thoughts from someone who's done a lot of interviewing and also been an interviewee a lot (I'm from a technical background - if you want to see my history then it's here )

that only make sense if the test question is related to the position.

if you intend to broaden up those question, do that in verbal/face to face.
question like what make the king of programmer

don't lum-sum anything to a test paper.
if you intend to use that at 1st filter, do it intelligently.

question about "king of programmer" in test paper, its a joke.

That is the purpose of the 'test'. They are not seeking for skillful staff but also with good attitude.

Even a question in test paper can piss you off like this and complaint so much on the question then they don think you have the correct attitude.
Thus, that is how filtering is work.

Who knows 1 day assigned you a task required different skillset from what you have then you will piss off easily and keep complaining instead. Let say you are from R&D team but assign you to support a system for days?

"ask me to support"? its a joke!"

The director of R&D did explained why they need to filtered.

If you dono answer then leave it blank and pray will be shortlisted.
Else just leave(this is the purpose of 'filtering')

I went for their senior java developer interview but din't smell anything wrong. I passed the test too but eventually i din go for hiring manager interview due to better offer from others.

I think the filter worked just fine. u007 tripped over his own two feet on the SQL question. I'm not sure how the "king of programmers" question was phrased, but I'm guessing they want to know who you look up to or aspire to be. Names like Martin Fowler (you're into agile), Linus Torvalds (you're into system), Alan Kay (you're classicist idealist) or Donald Knuth (you're mad) or the GoF. It's a fair question.

ya, that's well nowaday many can be done with test paper, just like the local education system.

maybe like setting up question like "if your boss ask you to help him do his laundry, will you take the "challenge"?"
pray you tick Yes. Because they can testing your "attitude".

why would someone failed the test need to go to another interview?

Same doubt having for this TS too
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1381015

Failed the interview but still got offer.. But suspect is a trap then rejected the offer.

I not sure others but for me I not only looking into technical but most importantly 'attitude'. I never consider even u r best technical person but u have bad attitude.

im not the boss, but i'll answer on behalf tongue.gif

I usually come to office with my jeans or khakis. most of my tshirts are roundnecks.
anything that is casually appropriate for office work is okay.

parking space is really an issue here. the best is inside the compound. but I dont think there is any vacant space.
usually people will park near the shoplots next to the Petronas petrol station but I doubt it will be long as the shoplots are opening for business.
the safest place is the park and ride area in front of the cyberjaya firestation. but you have to take the bus or walk all the way to the office (it's quite far).

Parking is available:

In the compound (40 spaces, waiting list of 3 people at the moment)
Outside on the road - get full quickly but don't park illegally as the tow/ticket here
Outside shop lots at Petronas (as alwajdi says)
Car park on technocrat 6 (not sure why no one seems to use this)
Park & Ride by fire station (not exactly too far to walk - but then I don't have to ;o) )

I have attended the second interview with the technical director few weeks back. IMO they are indeed seeking for software architect rather than programmer. The job position simply does not match with the job requirement. I can answer the questions but i think I did not go through because of my English. Anyway, I've learned from this interview. smile.gif

I'm not a programmer but seem the 2nd option is wrong... why should I care about m$ conversion in test? If you really care, you should ask them before you hand in your lovely answer :-)

we are looking for people who are passionate about the whole software technology and development process. which means that you have to be knowledgeable but not limited to only to your favorite language. you have to know the best practices, which frameworks are most suitable for the task, the best way to solve a problem (design patterns) etc..etc..

if you are only limited to your favorite language and code the cowboy way or the duct tape way, for sure you will fail the tests.

before i joined the company 1.5 year ago, that time I only have 1 year working experience but I still remember my interviewers told me that my knowledge is at a respectable level for someone quite a fresh junior and was offered on the spot (I answered the technical questions paper in just about 10 minutes and was one of the youngest in terms of experience to join directly with the title of Java Developer without going through the trainee program). But I soon learned after I joined that I am seriously lacking in knowledge.

I am no software wizard. I can say that I passed the interview because I read a lot about software development and play around with the frameworks. You can say that I am a computer geek. And my English isnt that good either. so I disagree about what you said that we are more looking for a software architect than a programmer, but I would rather say that we are looking for programmers that are passionate about software development itself.

If Experian follow XP closely, design/architecture of software development is a shared responsibility/authority of all team members, although you may have a senior person to act as a coach. So beside understanding architecture, be prepared to write tons of unit test and communicate in UML.

Yes, they are still called programmers. So the job title is fine. Always read job description to know what you are getting into. "Technical Architect", "Java consultant" doesn't tell you ANYTHING. You can have "solution architect" that doesn't know how to code.

p/s: Previously logged in as tomyeo; not an Experian employee, not yet anyway...

Just to clear things up.
If you guys came for PHP/.Net positions, the office where you will work will be located at the Ericsson building. The one that you came for interview is Prima 8 which is the office for Decision Analytics.
Still plenty of parking space there at the Ericsson building.

if this is the second time you go for the interview (in case you applied before but failed the test or failed the interview), i would say you should be prepared to answer more in-depth technical questions as your profile is already in the database (your resume, your test marks and previous answers). in other words, you'll be tested harder. i remember there is a question in the employment form which goes something like this: "have your previous application been rejected by Experian before?".

Edit: by the way, the positions have been open since last year. it's like perpetual hiring. we never close the position. For example, Java developers position we already interviewed more than thousand candidates but we hire only the best few. Recommended a few friend of mine but sadly they failed. And a side note, your employment history is observed too. Experienced people is what Experian needs. We have several graduate trainees but even after their months of intensive training, when I personally asked their opinion on the job, they say the work is quite overwhelming.

hi alwajdi,
previously Experian hires java & php developers a lot.
recently, i saw their ads on j'street hiring .NET /C# developers,
just curious is this a change in targeted customer market ? (expanding
business into ms-based customers ? or company direction ?

I'm .NET/C# developer and sort of interested to join Experian.

at the beginning, Experian only hires Java developers. This is for the Decision Analytics division.

only recently we hire php and .Net developers.
targeting microsoft based customers? heck no. we never cared about that. what's that supposed to mean anyway?
i believe that technology are just tools and we should not be bound to it.

the reason for the new positions are for our recent establishment of Marketing Services division in Malaysia which those technologies are being used in the products that they have been developing. Experian is a big company with a lot of divisions and each of them have their own direction but contributes to Experian as a whole.

but sure, i can help forward your cv. smile.gif

best of luck for you. unfortunately, i am more to pure programming technical kind of guy so i cant advice you much on the post that you are applying. just make sure that you know Linux very, very well from simple server administration to complex chron job scheduling or access control, using the shell console commands or server hardening...all that stuff. that's all that i can help. smile.gif

who is the father of extreme programming???? wth  rclxub.gif

but it a great experience coz i'm sure u will never found this kind of question at others company.

who is the father of extreme programming? -> ridiculous? i dont think so.
the question is asking whether you are passionate about your job.
it's like you love watching football that you can match all the player's faces to their names and jersey numbers or even recite their biodata.

type of coupling desirable ->this question is ridiculous and cannot apply to daily work? since you said that, sorry to say that if I am a boss of a software house and you answered that to me, I will reject you instantly. This question is about basic software architecture dude and it is related to the job.

as i mentioned before in previous posts, you'll fail miserably for the interview unless you have the passion for software development. even if you passed (false positive cases) you wont really be able to cope with the job after you joined.

Went for the interview as PHP developer this morning at Ericsson building , when I already had other offers from other companies. Had agreed to come to the interview so I decide to not "eat my words".

But I got through the test, got through the technical interview, and straight away being offered by the HR personnel in the third interview! My interest was building up gradually the more i walk around the company. And the benefits and working culture are quite attractive.

In the end, reject all my other offers and joined Experian :-)

let me give you a piece of advice. go work somewhere else first. gain experience. have passion in the field. I'm telling you, it is NOT easy to keep up with the pace in Experian if you are a fresh grad. yeah people wont tell you things like "you're not doing good" but in reality, you are dragging and slowing them down. it's only up to you to realise it or not and to accept it or not.

once you have a really strong base and deep enough knowledge in the field, then only you apply. another tip, most of those who come for the interview failed the most basic questions and a LOT of them have numbers in the years of experience.

yes. possible. but being a QA, you need to know all those things about QA testing for example: black/white/grey box testing, performance, profiling and so on. better if you know how to do test automation.

i got a friend's friend who joined in as management trainee at first, the test given to him was not really in technical, its more on IQ test, but now he's been transferred to Java development team. And he had almost zero knowledge in Java before joining this company, so, can it be deduced that the easier path to join Experian is via management trainee?

if your percentage is too far from the passing mark, chances are none.

Experian is an equal opportunity company which means anybody can come for the interview. it's just the matter that you pass or not. In terms of benefits, I can tell you that Experian currently is nearly unmatchable. That is why it's hard to pass the interviews. Only the best may join.

you can say that. but unless you really can pick up the pace, my personal opinion is not recommended for fresh graduates to join. Java training, yeah easy. but when it comes to the practical: you'll be thrown into the real 'battlefield' straight away. Then after about 3 months, it's left to your team lead to decide whether you get to stay or pack up your things and look for other job.

it's been leaked quite a long time ago. but still, 2nd interview is about explaining the answers. sometimes you'll be asked questions that are similar but on different situations. there are some people that attempted the test (same set questions) more than once but still failed (the bad thing is, they scored lower than the 1st attempt LOL).

That's the way it is in Experian. you're never forced to stay back late. but people usually stay back for the fun part (playing wii, foosball, pool or just chilling with colleague) and go back later. good in a way that the traffic to home is clearing up..

Hi..I heard from my cousin working in Experian that there is a manager aka "K S" that he's very strict and not friendly. Kinda piss off some employees there because of his attitude.
Other than that, it is a very nice company and yes, it is hard to get in.

people with that kind of attitude are everywhere.
But I would say in my own honest personal experience in Experian, all the good things outweighs the bad.
the only thing that drives me nuts there is just the task itself. Not to say that I'm overworked, it's just that I felt that I'm lacking in the technical skills and most of the time I felt overwhelmed. But the best thing is, my teammates is always there to assist, and my team lead, she always give me constructive feedback.

I actually left Experian a few months back so if you guys want to join Experian, fwd your CVs to the HR as I cant help you guys anymore or you can just fwd it to my cool ex-director here: mbcx4jrh. smile.gif

I am thinking of applying for the dev team lead position in Experian Cyberjaya. Looking at the posts, it looks like there will be a test. The JobStreet ad mentioned requirement knowledge of C#/C/C++.

My questions:
1. What is the format of the test? Multiple choice or subjective with coding?
2. What languages will be tested?
3. Anything else i need to know for the test, like any database questions? If database knowledge required, what databases do I need to know?
4. Any other pointers on what I need to know for the test?

Thanks,

Do you know which unit you are interviewing for? There are different units in Experian Malaysia (DA, Cheetamail, Hitwise, QAS etc) and each unit have different requirements. The answers to your questions will depend very much on the unit you are trying for.

I can't comment much on the test as I have not taken it before. So any details I give here may not be as accurate as I want it to be cry.gif

The only detail I can recall is you will be required to write blocks of code. Sorry I can't be more specific. Know your stuffs really well - memory management, hash tables, dictionary etc. I don't think QAS requires any specific database knowledge.

No doubt the test will be tough but if you're someone who is passionate about programming and you know your stuffs, it should go fine. The real tough part is the interview with the team leads/hiring managers. This is where your passion, knowledge, creativity will be put to the test.

Good luck. Experian has a good working culture and definately worth all the trouble you are going or will go though biggrin.gif

From what I've seen so far, for those that are functional more than technical, chances of you getting into experian seems to be close to zero.

And they have been massively hiring for quite some time. The positions have not been filled up which can mean:

a) they are rapidly expanding
b) Interview / filtering criteria is high
c) turnover is high

Hi,
Let me chime in - 5 days work, 20 days of annual leaves per year, comprehensive medic coverage, optical/dental plan, performance-related bonus plan, very active recreational activities/social events, in-house games room, excellent career advancement opportunities, very good work culture and work-life balance.

We are actively looking for Web Developers for C#.NET, C/C++, Perl, and Javascripts. Opened to fresh graduates, junior and senior levels.

Please ping me for further enquiries.

Cheers

About work life balance. In Experian Decision Analytics no one is made to work past normal hours (9:00-5:30). I encourage people to go home and enjoy their lives with families & friends.

Where is your experiance different?

That's great for DA then. However there are different products in Experian Malaysia and each team works very differently. Some other team(s) might not be this lucky to have such an understanding lead taking charge.

Hi, may I know how well Experian scores in The Joel Test smile.gif

QUOTE
The Joel Test (http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000043.html)

1. Do you use source control?
2. Can you make a build in one step?
3. Do you make daily builds?
4. Do you have a bug database?
5. Do you fix bugs before writing new code?
6. Do you have an up-to-date schedule?
7. Do you have a spec?
8. Do programmers have quiet working conditions?
9. Do you use the best tools money can buy?
10. Do you have testers?
11. Do new candidates write code during their interview?
12. Do you do hallway usability testing?
(I already have the answer for some of the questions, but just for documentation sake for other people here, hope to have all answers in one detailed post smile.gif)

thanks..

I notice Experian is always hiring QA Analyst (almost every month), I cant stop to think whether the turnover rate is high?

Does anyone knows whether QA Analyst need to go for test as well?

Hi,
Experian has few QA Analyst role...not sure which department you're refering too. It's not about turn-over rather, the technical assessment is tough and requires high passing rate.
And yes, all technical roles require test.

hhhmm...the position is in operations? its a new team they are setting up and i guess they just wanna really make sure they get the good people at the start.....else things will go downhill if things are not good from the beginning...for the normal positions like devs, qa, pm...normally there is a test & 1-2 interviews.

ur right, meeting the HR would normally be last to basically discuss abt the salary. good luck!

just my 2 cents.

experian adopts a performance based increment and bonus scheme tied to the performance of the company for that given financial year. there is a rating of 1-5 (1 being worst, 5 being excellent). So if the the average increment rate is 6% (example), if u get a low rating, your increment will be less than the average but if you get a good rating, you will get a higher than average rate. Same with bonus.

promotion depends on your unit but they do reward high performers very well whether in terms of promotion or increment

Also anyone pass the exam? If not pass the exam, are they will forward to another account manager to be interviewed? If so, which account that they will forwarded?

Honestly i still don't get clear picture about this role. What i understand that this post need to have a passion of software development, building rich web applications and they're practicing agile methodology.

Highly appreciated for your valuable feedback.

if you have been doing php all this while and is pretty interested in this field (as in keep yourself up to date in the industry) you will do fine. the first obstacle is the test - multiple choice. if you fail this one, you probably won't get an interview. experian will cross reference your skill set with all the openings they have. if you fail this but if you have the skills required for another unit, they will forward you to that unit.

what don't you understand about the role? maybe i can help while I am still online

good luck!

I see.. I know the technical test is so difficult for me since the questions includes logical thinking, programming, SQL injection, DB, agile methodologies. All 64 questions. Bit tough for me since i am not very up to date. Hehe.

My role now is developing the system mostly application system that been assigned from my officer. Sit with the client to get the requirement and feedback so the system still in the track. Demo the systems once completed and launch it.
Is these cycles have similarity with this post?
Honestly, i want more exposure like the technology, methodologies, ideas since at my place has very limited knowledge that i can acquire. Hard for our team to get the training too.

Thank you so much DarkAeon.

This role is generally a development post. You generally will be assigned to a project team and your work includes possibly technical design, coding and writing unit tests. This post doesn't require you to face the client. All of Hitwise's development projects are run using Scrum but prior experience in Scrum is an advantage but not required.

Yes the interviews and tests are difficult - its because you will be working with a very smart and capable team. if you aren't well equip and not passionate, you will fall behind even if you are hired.

Working environment in Hitwise is excellent - generally western culture with flexible working hours, opinions and views are highly appreciated, good training and learning opportunities etc


Hope this helps.

Thank you so much of your explanation. I highly appreciated. Based on your explanation I think i should give myself a chance to sit a test, at least 50-50 chance in hand if i take a test. smile.gif
I doubt before this because now i further my study in part time mode, so i should think twice whether i need hold to apply new job until i finish my study or not.
Thanks again DarkAeon.

The first Geek/king of programmer is Bjarne. He is the one who first created OOP concept in C which later names to C++. I would rather say C++ is Simple and yet complicated language. Later its concept adopted by Java,php,C# and so on.Simple and yet Simple, but made to be complicated by their platform or api.

The second Geek is my ex-senior,no him no me of today.He is really a dinosaur, an extinct creature.Thanks.

Anybody applied for senior .net c# developer position recently? I applied last night and this afternoon they called me and asking some questions and said she will forward my application to whom i don't remember. And she will scheduled for interview in a few days if the said person gave greenlight i guess?

I'm not really proficient in c#, most of my works using vb.net but i applied anyway just to see my job market since i haven't apply for new jobs since last 6 years. Hahahaha, just want to try my luck then.

Then the very next week they called me for face to face interview.I attended for the second round too.Still they haven't say any feedback.Normally how long it will take to get the feedback from them. If anyone know please share me your opinion. Thanks.

Why, it is no surprise the the HR Director would stoop that low to insult either a potential candidate or an employee.

rclxms.gif

Well, this thread is mainly dead now. For new potential candidates who're thinking of applying to Experian, you're probably better off elsewhere.

Hitwise is losing their QA like arteries lose blood. Apparently it's because of the relatively new lady manager.
If you're thinking about joining the QA team, you should heed the sign.

Cheetahmail's turnover rate? Well, it's been pretty bad last year. This year saw a few left.
There're dissent among employees. Griefs mostly caused by managers who don't know what they're doing.

Experian isn't as great as what it used to be (or what they claimed to be).

mbcx4jrh, why don't you tell us why you left?

let's be clear here, i am not the one making accusations. when you make accusations in the public and you hide under a disposable account, I pointed it out, I am at fault here? I don't understand your logic really.

all i can see is some disgruntled employee(s) creating multiple accounts possibly to disseminate biased information and we see that a lot here.

so don't throw your frustrations at me. grow some balls - you don't have to leave your name but come on a disposable account? just use a real account and tell us the actual situation minus the rumours or hearsay. then let the readers decide. it is better for everyone reading it. really

Joe, I think u mistake me as that HR Director using another account to counter you. You really got it wrong this time.

I am NOT accusing that 'throw away account' of making things up - this is what I said "well no offence, a post like this from an account with the name 'Throw Away Account' and only 3 posts doesn't really scream credibility to me. Care to clarify some details other than guesses and hearsays?"

Throw away account was clearly using the word apparently - that clearly showed me he/she did not get that info first hand. And it is true an account with that name and with only 3 posts can be created to deliberately attack anyone.

So be fair here and don't put words into my mouth. I am interested however of your personal views of the company. Care to share?

I don't have to back what I say here with credibility. It's a online forum. Anonymity is afforded as long as anyone wants it. Whether readers take what I say with a pinch of salt is up to them.

Ditto. If I were to "clarify some details" with my usual account, you'd think the management won't figure out where I work and who I am? They'd sooner swoop down to me and haul me for some scolding or firing. I'm not careless enough to dig my own grave.

If this company is truly good, why isn't anyone else singing praises lately. Gone are the good old days?

Stop hiding.

For the second time....i DID NOT attack anyone. I just pointed out the obvious and I wanted the hear the real actual confirmed stories about the company rather than rumours or "I hear it from joe that xxxxx". I don't have to tell u but I have decided to reveal my intentions due to your wild and unsubstantiated allegations.

I went as far as second interview for a Senior PHP Developer in hitwise long time ago, I got to talk to Daniel Walters the head of development and ask him lots of questions about the internal workings, culture, values of hitwise. Personally i think he is passionate about what is doing and he believed in what he is doing. hitwise scores high marks in my books. I don't really know what happens in cheeta or DA but I would love to try again to apply to hitwise if there is an opening. So yeah, I have an indirect link to Experian, hence, I modified my comments to reflect that. And yeah, I know the culture, how performance are measured etc because I asked and I got a tour and I have friends who is still working there.

So i am keen to hear some real stories from another angle so that i can make an informed decision in the future

Joe, just my honest 2 cents - i feel you are really angry with the company, i don't really know what happened but come on dude - we don't look back in anger.

See, DarkAeon, you said "I don't really know what happens in cheeta or DA". So who better to tell the situation in Experian? You, an outsider, or me, an insider?

Experian comprises of different business units/office and each has its own culture. Hitwise used to be really good, or is still good. They've never had anyone leave in the first 2 years of their establishment, until recently they see a throng of QAs leave, one after another. Their QA team shrunk almost by half in just half a year. The developers team seems to be doing good, thanks to good managers. If you have to join Experian, pick Hitwise Software Development. Can't say the same about other teams in there.

Cheetahmail is known to have a Chinaman head that leads a team of many managers who don't seem to know what they're doing.

QAS? They've had people leave after just a few months of joining.

DA? Who better to tell what happened apart from Joe?

I don't know why you want to thank me for you just said I don't have credibility and my claims are wild and unsubstantiated.

So I said something good about Hitwise Software Development and suddenly that's a lot more believable than the bad things?

I love the contradiction.

Edit:
BTW, I don't want to continue the argument about my claims being wild or that I lack credibility and shit.

I don't care about credibility. I never once asked that anyone believe my claims. Anyone here is free to take what I said with a pinch of salt. Or lots of salt.


Added on September 8, 2012, 10:21 amAlso, Hitwise yearly increment and bonus % is measly.

If you want fatter paycheck that grows exponentially faster, join Cheetahmail. If you don't mind the Chinaman head or the work environment. Hitwise people always get jealous at Cheetahmail's bonuses.

u see, only joe made wild claims againts me (about me being in Experian and shit) and not u Throw Away Account. The very fact that u think I was talking about u is very interesting and one can make the connection very easily.

i thank you because for once u r talking about your own experiences and not some shit u heard from pantry or coffee bean or toilet. u don't care about credibility but readers like me do, so thanks for thinking about us all this while.

again, i have no interest in arguing with anyone here - i am just after the facts and nothing else

I have every right to point out the credibility of any posts while remaining anonymous myself - why is it wrong for me to question what someone has written here? This is a forum and it is meant to work this way from the planet I am from.

Just because u dare me to show myself doesn't mean I have to do it. I am using my one and only account which have hundreds of post indicating I am an actual forumer and not an account created to bash anyone specifically. That's all you need to know.

I am sorry to hear what Experian did to you and the circumstances surrounding your wife. I won't comment on this as I don't know the details

I have decided to move on from this thread as I have all the info I need about this company.

Astagfirullahazeem. Ya Allah, tak habis habis dengan cerita bini special. Yang i tahu suaminya pemabuk.

i sekarang keje nightshif kat bank glocal dan baru terserempak dengan tered ini.

klu sebut nama bini guarantee kesemua 80 staf MS ludah

Exprian HR bodoh kenapa bagi kerje kat org mcm ni!

issh. ingat bini dia - naik bulu roma aku. kena mental torture hari hari. lain kali bawak bini pegi main jauh jauh, cari kerja kat chennai la biarkan kami 'dirty chinese' and 'stupid malays' terkeluar dari cerita hindustan mengarut.

ku ni dengan beberapa rakan seperjuangan saya khasnya melayu dan cina selalu diseksa dan 'terkena' dengan arus syaitan yang dipangil bini ini. We all happy is malaysia is free of this diseases. Walaupun i dah ninggal exprian tapi kawan kawan i masih kat sana. kesemuanya masih ada saki baki trauma bini ini.

sepeninggalan
tak ada tikam belakang,
tak ada ular lidah bercabang,
tak ada maki hamun kaum melayu dan cina,
tak ada maki hamun kesemua negara islam
tak ada maki hamun 'yellow dirty chinese'
tak ada 'without my husband you wouldnt have a job here!'

macam mana i boleh sesat kat tered ini. maklumla topic in tengah hangat sekarang dan i tengah cari kerja. kah kah kah

so kalau ada kosong kat sana tolong pm yea ok! seriously tak nak keje kat sana la. nyampah

Well, this thread is mainly dead now. For new potential candidates who're thinking of applying to Experian, you're probably better off elsewhere.

Hitwise is losing their QA like arteries lose blood. Apparently it's because of the relatively new lady manager.
If you're thinking about joining the QA team, you should heed the sign.

Cheetahmail's turnover rate? Well, it's been pretty bad last year. This year saw a few left.
There're dissent among employees. Griefs mostly caused by managers who don't know what they're doing.

Experian isn't as great as what it used to be (or what they claimed to be).

mbcx4jrh, why don't you tell us why you left?
*
It might be slightly exaggerated comparing to the actual situation.

Although there are couple of QA resignation in Hitwise happening at the same time, it was more due to the fact resignation happen immediately after the bonus was given (if letter was submitted before the bonus, you will not qualify for the bonus). No more after that.

Also to note, Hitwise in Cyberjaya is establish for slightly more than 2 years, hence it's common that people are looking for new job challenges after this period.

The average turn-over rate is lower in Hitwise than most companies out there. smile.gif

Overall, my experience in Experian has been a pleasant one! Definitely recommended if you're looking for a job which gives a lot of flexibility, support and freedom to implement improvement initiatives. thumbup.gif

1. isn't it funny to listen to someone's comment about a company when u r looking to expand your career? you should understand what you are getting into and what knowledge you gain from it. The more exposure you have, the more experience you have in facing this again in future.

2. wats a good manager or a bad manager? why not ask how can u b d best employee? it is often communication breakdown between team members n managers. different expectations drives different results. Mismatched expectations is the major cause of d argument. U need to clearly understand wat u need to deliver as results, what enables u to deliver the results, how do u know when u hv delivered d results.

3. what went wrong with the management? pls ask urself y u r not d manager since u think u r better than d manager.

4. r u mature enough to handle difficult situations n accept criticism from others?

5. staff attrition is normal in IT industry. D industry does not pay additional for the same set of skill sets although one may have worked in the same role and company for the past few years. There r times when as an employee, u feel u need to be paid more. They should pay u more if u r doing beyond ur scope today, but if ur scope is d same for the past 5 years, should d company pay extra 20% for d same set of skills?
Therefore, if there is nothing else for an employee to grow, they leave. Then again, did both manager n team member go through a career path planning?

6. bonuses are subjective and depends on alot of factors. P&L are subject to scrutiny and esp new units have more challenges which may be caused by cost accrual, initial investment recovery, HR capital building for skills n etc.

pls note....i'm neither an Experian staff/ex-staff nor do I know anyone there....

if any employee has got issues with their current company or managers, seek higher level management advise and escalate if necessary. Complaining on forum and b****ing won't change anything. D company wont change its ways and its governed by corporate managers who will act/execute for d company's best interest.

I never believed in managers are always right, but they are managers because the management sees them deemed fit for the role.

So to all jobseekers, it is ur own career path.
U need to understand what u want to build for ur career apart from all those pay package n benefits.

I've worked for multiple companies over d span of 15 years working to date in d IT industry focusing on IT Service Management & Managed Services....watever u wanna call it

Chinaman comp, MNCs and OGCs.........i hv met many type of bosses....some r really good...not just managers...but great leaders
some r just average managers

again......it also depend how u manage ur own boss

long winded enough.....d point is.....dont let anyone dictate ur career n growth....perform ur own due diligence of a company by finding d facts
example: comp financial statements, review d direct line managers profiles on linkedin.....many more

Technical Test Details for Java developer

If Experian didn't change its technical tests, following are the topics you should study. Too bad I just failed to pass them recently~ xD

I believe experienced java programmers should know them but too bad I can't remember the definitions of these terms anymore. Please read Introduction of Java and definitions of OO concepts in Java.

Total 20 objective questions.
1. Java Collections
2. JSP
3. Web container
4. Coupling, Encapsulation, Inheritance, Polymorphism
5. Junit test
6. Garbage Collections
7. Optimization
8. Others are source codes questions to trace outcomes

Good luck to all applicants!

Cheers!

actually experian major problem is not hectic work or less benefits ... it's another issue.

they have a serious problematic senior management issue and business direction problem ... hence the pay so good, environment good, benefits not bad, no hectic workload, no formal wear ... but people still choose to leave. and I don't mean local managers attitude issue, most of the local managers in cyber are very friendly and easy going, you will notice that when you go interview.

for 1st job interview which happened on May 2014 , i went thru 3 interviews . and i succeed.

everything is good , including the exam is passed ..except the basepay , because it didnt up to what i expect 10% increment.

then i ask them whether i can go for 10% increment . the reason i ask for the increment is because i have to travel from KL to Cyberjaya for work .

after that they asked for 4th interview , which is totally nonsense , as the big boss already agreed to go for me but somehow the basepay is totally low.

i went for the 4th interview .. then i'm not sure what is happening . i asked the recruiter what is the status , no update .

thus , i let it go , just like that .



for 2nd job interview which happened on mid-July , i went there for interview for sysadmin for another account . Cheetahmail.

they interviewed me in casual way , asking on project related stuff , troubleshooting , real case scenario etc.

then i keep asking for update . told be to waited until last week to check on update. Then they told me i'm not selected . For me , it is fine if i'm not selected , but after reply their email for update ?

this is it . i will not apply this company . totally wasting my time.

just back from interview in experian near ericson building. i must say i blew up my chance already. i can't answer most of the technical questions there. but the interviewers were nice and professional. won't wait for 'official result', will just continue to do my current job and wait for another opportunity next year.

Hi Sonerin, are you the HR employee at Experian?
I've applied to a position and still waiting for the favorable reply. Generally how long would it take for the selection, especially the lead time to know whether oneself was shortlisted?
Please share if you have the info. Thanks.. smile.gif

Well I managed to reach the third stage. Met the head of development and I told my expected salary. I asked first the range but they want me to tell my expected salary.

Now after two weeks still waiting. Not sure whether they're agree or not.. I hope at least negotiate something before deciding anything if the outcome is negative.

Hi,

Found an add at jobstreet that Experian is looking for Support Java Developer. Anyone care to share what is the role? Support only or have new development? Any insight view of the company? I've once went for the interview in 2012 but failed the test. According to my friend who worked there before...the work environment is good and really practice the work life balance thing. Office hour 9-530 pm only. The manager will halau u if still working at 6. Info from my friend before resign to further study.

Anyone work in finance analyst department? How's the boss? smile.gif How's the working hour? Any flexi hour like log in 9am, log out 6pm or work from home concept?

Currently my job offer flexi hour in office, work from home which very suitable for me with my 2 kids. Sometime bring them to visit clinic but no need apply leave. But salary underpaid and cutting headcount now.

i totally forgot i will have an interview tomorrow with experian. i think i'll just go just to check on their office.

if i'm not mistaken it's for .NET technical support or something, their recruiter called me last month and i said i don't have any more leave until this month, last week or so the recruiter called me but i didn't pick up since i was busy with work and i received invitation email from them to come for interview.

i don't even know about the job description, when they called last month she said i need to work like 3-4 days per week 8am-8pm.

i read through glassdoor review mostly from US and it doesn't seem positive review tongue.gif

I am interviewing for a data/QA analyst position in Experian, first interview went well and i am keen to know more about the work environment. I asked a friend that work there but he does not recommend me to join Experian himself doh.gif

he told me there are frequent hiring/firing/layoff going on in the company due to very active cost cutting exercise, the company just recently quietly layoff a full department that is performing well due to business unit sell out, for profitability purpose. he also talked about harsh working environment there with poor managers in his department but I guess poor management is different from department to department. hmm.gif

can someone that work there share their work experience especially on work pressure and management style? icon_question.gif

the layoff department (division) does not do well in term of business. And, all fault is actually from parent country of the business (melb in this case). But melb choose to blame KL division, thus when Experian sell of the business, Melb somehow propose to new company to layoff KL staff. Wish the melb staff work well with their new owner now. hmm.gif hopefully melb can make profit to the new owner as they cant blame others anymore for bad business.

although not exclusive to experian, this company is very aggressive in hiring and firing people based on business needs.
it is a financially driven company through heavy data analytic by finance teams.
The reason of layoff is unlike MAS or petronas where they need to stay profitable, but more like to achieve 50% profitability instead of 20% profitability.

Wonder why Experian is always hiring? Here's the answers from an employee:

It used to be a great place to work for. Not anymore.
It is not just my opinion. People vote with their feet - very high turn-over rate.
None of PMs worked longer than a year.
One person (out of 12) leaves Delivery every 3 months (average).
New delivery manager has no sense of decency. Swearing, deception...
That is why Experian is constantly looking for people.
Do not expect any support from HR.

Would not recommend this place to a friend.

HR cant do much, as all fund comes from parent company which located outside this country. They control the money. HR only can work accordingly to instruction.

Becareful with those companies that hire all year round.

Usually it means the company continuously do risk/cost mgmt by attempting to hire cheaper engineers and firing the expensive one, at the same time avoid any impact to productivity.

So usually such company got nasty managers that uses nonsense mgmt methodology such as SCRUM that embarrass you in daily team meeting.

Scrum is used quite a lot in industry for agile. Maybe the manager dont know how it actually works? Hence wrong implementation? unsure.gif

Scrum is invented for managers who usually do not participate in development and is clueless what is happening and hence the daily meeting/reporting.

Scrum is also highly suitable to do hire/fire and churn the team until the manager get the cheapest productive team.

Such mgmt technique is practice in many foreign companies like Experian, Swift, Comptel, Openet, DHL etc.

For last 2 years business was bad and business getting sold off. Effected many employees in Malaysia. Worst is the bosses from oversea treat the employee here like rubbish. Just have the couldn't careless attitude. So when business is sold they say thank you and goodbye

Hi all, I'm being approached by recruiter that offering me a position in APAC COE lately. I will have an interview with a UK-based finance manager next week.
Would like to check, what is the outlook of this company and the management? asked one of the forumer that saying they are doing badly and got few business units sold off.
Can anyone working/worked in Experian@Cyberjaya can shed some light over here? Is Experian a company to go for?

It is true for the salary. Is everything of what you mention above and actually development. Anyway do you know what is the team to apply as Experian certain business is being sold away. Anyway is quite a bad company to work with.

I went in years ago fresh out of university. They also took one intern and got converted to permanent employment after few months of internship.
There was graduate trainee program there, but not sure if that still exists.

globally everything is political and bureaucratic.

Local management in experian is like puppet. Has no authority, and guts to say NO to parent company even though local employees deserve the right.

Worse still the engineers successfully inherited the legacy of their managers. That pretty much explained the existance of long service engineers there, minimum eight years. The managers no hesitate to be the exellent candidate to play next Joker after Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix.

Hi,

I have seen a lot of criticisms here however Glassdoor review still given a 4.5 rating (seems pretty good to me?).

Wondering those criticisms are just baseless accusations or individual/ standalone incident instead of cultural thing?

Welcome all feedback!

Thanks and have a great weekend!
