First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at TransUnion.
Product Manager
I interviewed for the Product Manager position with the SRG group. I want to begin by saying that my experience with this specific recruiter was really professional and one of the best. But the process with the SRG group just was not up to the mark, highly lacking value for the candidate's time and energy. The entire process lasted longer than 2 months. They'd schedule time for an interview in an urgency, but once the interview was completed, they'd suddenly go dark. I had no idea if am I proceeding to the next steps or not, and as a candidate you try to not be pushy. The recruiter would work hard to get feedback from the team so she could communicate with me, but I could make out how tiresome that was for her as well. After what was supposed to be my last round, I heard nothing for over 2 weeks. And then they came back saying that they wanted to have another last round. Sure, lets do it. After that, there was silence for another 2 weeks and I heard back from the recruiter that they re-opened the position. So basically, after interviewing for 2 whole months, they opened up the position again with zero explanation on why or what was the reasoning behind this decision. If this is how they treat a candidate, this was not the place for me, You can tell a lot about how the team works from the way they interview and interact with you. I could see their lack of process and communication from my 2 months of interacting with them.

Software Engineer
The interview process included a coding round, a technical interview, and an HR interview. Each interview lasted about 15-20 minutes and focused mainly on DSA, projects, and communication skills. They also asked questions about OOPS, programming languages, and CS fundamentals.
- Can you explain how you securely store user passwords?
- Tell me about your experience with DSA.
- Can you describe some of your past projects?
Data Analyst
There are usually 3 interview rounds. First is a Teams call with the recruiter. Next, there are a couple rounds back to back with the Hiring Manger and then the team to see if you are a good fit. It is technical and from what I heard they tend to ask about the work experience and want you to explain any projects you have undertaken in great detail.
- Can you tell me about yourself?
- What is your background and how is it relevant to this position?
- How comfortable are you with SQL?
Data Scientist
My interview experience with this company was really bad and unprofessional. The hiring manager kept cutting me off during our hour-long chat, not to ask for more info but just to butt in whenever she wanted. She didn't seem to know basic interview etiquette. Even though she interrupted me a lot, I was told I did well and that someone would contact me for the next step. But then, nothing. I emailed them to follow up, but still no reply, not even a rejection. I'm actually glad it ended there because a process this messy and rude, from HR to the manager, makes me think the job itself would be terrible. If that's how she manages people, it would be a nightmare to work for her. A company that lets someone act like that in interviews shows their true colors. Getting ghosted can be a good thing sometimes.
