Fast paced work, great colleagues
Fast paced work, great colleagues
- With so many different projects and clients, and the short-term nature of most projects, you work on several different projects in a year and end up learning a lot of different ML/DS/DE skills, techniques and applications. There's never a boring moment because there's always some other task that could use your help.
- Most colleagues are very engaged in the work and in self-improving their skills and keeping up with the latest in ML. It's very collaborative and the excitement is contagious.
- Almost all roles on a team are "client-facing" and everyone is present at client sync-ups, which is a good opportunity to understand users and their problems deeply.
- No expectation of working on weekends, though some folks certainly spend Sundays catching up on the latest in ML!
- If you thrive in a hustler/achiever environment, this is for you.
- Unlike bigger companies, the technical/engineer roles are not separated from the client-facing roles so engineers need to spend more time/energy dealing directly with clients rather than focus on the pure technical side.
- Moreover, being a consultancy, the culture celebrates Sales wins more than Engineering wins, and everyone is encouraged to be Sales-minded.
- The work was also quite stressful in my experience because of working on two client projects at the same time - there was never a moment to catch your breath - there was always a deadline looming and you could never explain to your client that you were busy on the other client's project.

I have a first-stage interview within 30 minutes, followed by some testing. The testing will assess logical thinking, programming skills, and the ability to find solutions for data engineering example situations.
