Actually, the reality is that N* didn't even have a working PoC for the cr-p 1Dev & 1Tru brainchildren. They were/are a bunch a charlatans and when I was able to look under the hood at the joke that 1Dev was in 2023/24, it was glaringly apparent.
After years of sc--wing things up in the ripest market for a credit agency where TU should have been ki-ling it, Cartwrong hitched his wagon to a deal for N* where TU overpaid by around double. Everything at TU was humming right along until Pe-k retired and Cartwrong wound up at the helm. That was the beginning of the end. Thank God I was able to move on to much, much greener pastures on my own terms. I don't miss that miserable place at all where the joke of an IT org is run by former dopes from Wally World and JC Penny. Eff TranStar and the soulless @holes now at the helm of IT.
@rx Guys - you're wrong about Neustar and have been since 2021. TU didn't save a "dying company with marketing data" they bought an IT department - and marketing data. This is a planned direction for probably 5-6 years now. The downsizing of US jobs to India / Costa Rica will give way to AI building code and the US side is doing it - and have been. I'm sorry that the morale seems to be lack luster but coming in from the outside and seeing how TU was operating right after acquisition - fat. too many people. no modern systems. tribalism. ego way beyond the size of the company. And I actually liked you all - but there is post after post blaming Neustar when in fact - if TU had it's sh-t together, there wouldn't have been a Neustar. Why not try and figure out how you're going to make it better verses bi--hing about an acquisition from now four years ago or start sending out your resumes. Time to move on already.
Not much work for a Monday morning. Sad state of affairs.
@1am Quite the opposite. When the history of TU is written, it will be that Neustar ki-led it. People who know nothing about the scale or complexity of the credit business but with hubris march forward regardless.
Hilarious that Neustar is blamed when TU execs are the ones digging TUs graves
These humble neustar opportunists came with smiles and gratitude and then became killers of the flower moon
Working with offshore engineers has been a nightmare. Their code quality is down the hill, the implementation and requirements are arch enemies, their ability to provide update in stand ups is challenged.
Onshore engineers work with quality, with skills they learnt from 200k$ of tution fees, if they want a cheap chop shop offshore running the show then thats the quality they get.
That's a rumor LMAO. Those execs should of been fired by the board in 2023 for layoffs of thousands of USA jobs and sending them to offshore.
