Working at Experian in Oakland, CA: 4 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Oakland, CA Area

"This company is currently struggling. It is reacting to the market space rather than leading the charge in terms of innovation and technology."

"The employees are great but management has made poor decisions in technology acquisition which has led to frequent technology outages. There isn't enough support for employees. In comparison to the competition, employees are underpaid and don't receive the necessary support to move up. More focus is being put on outsourcing employees work outside of the U.S."

"CheetahMail was a great place when I started there. Since then, shifts in management and vision have changed. There's some confusion of the direction and execution of the new vision, and internal efforts don't match the strategies that we're taking to market.Staff with technical know-how is frequently alienated. The emphasis on adding in new clients as fast as possible has created a hectic environment where technical people are frequently overworked."
