First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Experian.
Director
A recruiter reached out about a Director-level Technology leadership position in Hyderabad and sent over the job description. It looked like a good fit, so I went ahead with the interviews. First, there was a technical chat with a Principal Architect, then I met with a Senior Director and the Head of Architecture. After that, I had an HR behavioral interview and then an in-person meeting at the office. Once all those were done, HR asked for my payslips and compensation info. Since then, though, it's been radio silence. I've tried calling and messaging to get an update, but no response at all. For a leadership role, this lack of communication is pretty concerning and doesn't speak well for Experian's TA team or their engagement practices, especially for senior candidates. Makes you wonder about the experience for others.
- Can you explain your methodology for converting business challenges into technology architecture?
Business Governance and Risk Analyst
I was really looking forward to this job. The interviews went great, and the hiring manager even told me I passed and was moving on. But then, communication got messy. I reached out to recruiting, and they sent one reply, but they never confirmed what the manager said. They just said they were waiting for an update, which never came. After that, they ghosted me and didn't reply to my follow-up emails. Two weeks later, I got a rejection email. I can deal with rejection, but being left in the dark after being told I was progressing was tough. Job hunting isn't just a formality; people rely on these jobs to support their families. I hope they get better at being upfront with candidates. Even a quick update would have made this way less frustrating and shown respect for people who really need these positions.
- Could you elaborate on your experience?
Analista Técnico
Passei nas entrevistas e a recrutadora me informou que eu estava sendo contratada e que começaria se desse tempo de todos os trâmites no dia 12/01. Ela enviou vários links para eu preencher e no final um que eu mandei meu documento e CPF. No dia seguinte recebi um e-mail dizendo que não foi desta vez e que seguiriam com outro candidato, sem qualquer satisfação. A recrutadora não teve a decência de falar comigo, faltou empatia. O pior é que depois disso fico recebendo mensagem do Serasa limpa nome, sendo que tem uma dívida que já está paga há mais de 20 anos num banco que não existe mais, é uma falta de respeito com as pessoas.

Software Engineer
This was a 1-on-1 with the manager, and they were really nice and friendly. They asked about my background, CS fundamentals, and my experience with distributed systems. We also discussed my favorite school courses and concepts related to distributed systems, as well as my past projects.
- Can you discuss your prior experience?
- What are your thoughts on computer science fundamentals?
- What's your favorite class you've taken at school?
