7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I would say you pick up a wide variety of technical skills which you can choose to apply if you enjoy using them. Most modules don't directly impact my job role.

7/10

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There is a monthly social that all employees within my business area are able to attend, then we also have team socials every couple of months.

9/10

9a. Would you recommend Experian to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

The people you work with generally seem to care for your progression and give you time and space to develop. There are good opportunities to explore different roles should you find yourself in a position where you aren't enjoying your role.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Experian?

It is a good company to apply for, you get to work for a large organisation and have the opportunity to work with lots of business areas. Be well prepared for any interviews by doing a bit of research on the company and approach everything with a positive attitude!
