Quantexa Work Experiences

Everything has become much more corporate

Data Engineer • Current Employee

London, England

Pros: There are good development opportunities in some departments, nice people, and some good perks.

Cons: As it has grown, the company has become much more corporate, and on some delivery projects with difficult clients, junior employees are left to fend for themselves with little guidance or development.

Pros: - Perfect culture in terms of trust and inclusiveness - Starting off career here has resulted in many opportunities to prove yourself and subsequently increase your salary

Cons: - 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.
