Positive Reviews From TransUnion Employees

  • What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
    People are generally nice and TRY to help. PTO is flexible. Work is meandering. No real ownership of products.
  • What is the best part about your compensation package?
    PTO is flexible. Health and dental are adequate. The annual bonus (company + individual performance) are great. Total comp is fair for the amount of work. But lo compared to industry standards.
  • What are some of the best things about your team?
    Friendly people, smart, hard working

Constructive Feedback From TransUnion Employees

  • What would you improve about your company's interview process?
    I was interviewing during reorgs and it was a mess. The tow people who interviewed me were great. But the process took forever. Company changes are beyond people's control afterall.
  • What does the leadership team need to get better at?
    No onboarding basically. But you're still expected to deliver on the business and the tech. The tech is outdated at best. Docs are outdated. Knowledge gaps across the board. No one has any answers. Management is blind to individual struggles. Zero empathy.
  • What does the leadership team need to get better at?
    Providing resources so people don't get burned out and leave
