Process
I applied online.
Two words: very just. It wasn't too demanding, although there were about four to five rounds, inclusive of a code review and take-home assignment. Personally, the take-home assignment was preferred over those LeetCode or HackerRank style assessments because the latter can feel very narrow and pointless, whereas for the take-home assignment, you're given a week to complete it along with more realistic requirements.
Questions
Some topics asked about were the Spark Dataset API, functional programming, and SQL operations.

Quantexa Work Experiences
- 5.0Amazing culture and great career starterData Engineer • Current EmployeeMelbourneAugust 10, 2023Pros: - Perfect culture in terms of trust and inclusiveness - Starting off career here has resulted in many opportunities to prove yourself and subsequently increase your salaryCons: - Only downside is if you want to have a graduate program with many other graduates. The APAC team is still growing at the moment so it won’t have as many graduates as big 4.
- 2.0Good culture that has started to deteriorateData Engineer • Former EmployeeSingaporeSeptember 1, 2025Pros: - Product has strong moat with focus on technical best practices during deployment - Good place to learn data engineering fundamentals - Good compensation, although no sharesCons: - On delivery project, lack of strong leadership has led to developers and leads to fend for themselves - Product is inherently difficult to develop, unrealistic scope and timeline lead from sales to unrealistic timelines - Culture started out strong, but behaviours from the MNCs we deliver for has work its way into the internal team culture
- 4.0Smart and fun colleaguesData Engineer • Current EmployeeLondon, EnglandOctober 29, 2023Pros: Smart and fun colleagues. Quite good pay and culture. Interesting projects and continuous learning.Cons: The delivery department is underappreciated. The company brand has gotten much more corporate over time. The move to 'quantexify' language seems insincere.
