Lovely people, really enjoyed the teams I worked with
Cons
Restructuring leading to a lot layoffs. Due to this my role stagnated rather quickly and led to eventual redundancy. This may have changed since I departed a few years ago so it may not be a fair reflection now.
There is nothing I'd recommend about Datalex, it is the worst place I have ever worked and intend leaving soon.
Cons
Awful people in senior positions, everyone has a director title although mostly completely incompetent. The treatment of staff and customers is simply vile.
Challenging to find anything to mention here. Overall it was a bad experience and would not others to experience it
Cons
1) Bullying by senior management. This starts at the time of joining
2) lack of knowledge handover. People struggle to get knowledge of the system, which is quite legacy.
3) HR does not help and sides with the management
4) Knowledge hoarding by old timers, hence very hard to upskill quickly and be successful. The old timers stick to their knowledge, and in the process, many new joiners fail and are considered not good resources
