Process

I applied online. The process took two months.

The interview process was amazing. First, there was a call with the HR team to get to know and understand my current situation and expectations. Since then, I had the support and a transparent communication. Second was a technical interview with the delivery team, who then sent me an assignment to send back within a week. Once I delivered the assignment, there was a final interview to resolve doubts, where we were able to understand which role I would best fit into and move forward with the final offer.

Questions

What were my expectations? What do I know about Quantexa? Why Quantexa? Have I worked with financial crimes solutions before?

Was this helpful?

Strong product but troubled by poor management

Lead Data Engineer • Current Employee

London, England

Pros: Industry leading product in big data analytics. Great engineers to work with and some really good teams especially in r&d. It was good for a long time but those days are gone especially in delivery

Cons: It's gone downhill massively in recent years especially in delivery. As other reviews have mentioned the company has been canablised by non technical middle managers with fancy job titles. In delivery you could be on a project that is hell on earth for 1 year + with a nightmare client and basically nothing from the company apart from get it developed asap. Iv heard of some mad horror stories in delivery recently. Many delivery managers are essentially useless and the engineers have to do their job for them. There are too many nonsense internal 'initiatives' and your punished if your on an insane client project with no time for it. Return to office mandates to sit on teams screen shares with developers in 4 different countries? Many great devs have left for this reason alone and upper non technical 'management' just ignore it. Pushing AI heavily instead of hiring new developers or replacing devs who have left. It's not clean how it's going to work at all. It's not uncommon to be in a crisis delivery project working 10+ hour days for weeks/months unend and you will still get punished for not sitting in the office
