Too many hiring is happening and too little HR is working. I won't be surprise if hiring got messy

Anyone has any contact with Experian HR, I received a call from HR but call back the line as invalid , try to call the general line from the official website in Malaysia office always went invalid number.

Please pm me.

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

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

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.

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

wow.. that's pretty bad...
new company did not absorb the employees in that dept?

my friend also don't know why new company did not absorb the employees, perhaps their salary are too high already?

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. hopefully melb can make profit to the new owner as they cant blame others anymore for bad business.

current working environment there? is it good?

when a strategy failed, what do they do? they fire the underlings. and they wonder why the business didn't turn around

unfortunately that is not exclusive to experian

Sounds like a typical mnc top management issue. Been there done that. Anyway no company is perfect.
Hope my 2nd interview with them will goes well.

Working wise is not bad. Environment is also not bad. Just as the company be uncertain at times. Well bad economy, I guess every where is uncertain

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.

can't blame them. it's all about the money.

when the money comes, good times
when the money dried, be prepare to cry

anyone working as a research analyst in experian?

Anyone here as C# programmer???

Its a great company to work for, the benefits are great.
Even when Shell next door is retrenching, people here still have the position in tact.

anyone working there as data analyst (modelling)? mind share any information? thanks

Anyone knows what is the job scope of Software QA there ? How about test? I am gonna meet interviewer this week. Any tips? Good luck me maybe? 😂😂😂

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.

heard from my friend that over there the working hours are long, and they are quite perfectionist too
definitely not an easy place to survive

btw I used to fail in their interviews few years back
