PredictX Reviews

Based on my opinion and experience, my general feeling is that: Unless you are a data scientist or have been with the company for 3+ years, you are replaceable and nobody really cares about you. A lot of QA processes are set in place to manage the lack of training / talent / care. Promotion is tenure-based and disregards real talent / leadership. The machine learning models are at the Statistics 101 level. Underwhelming quality product, delivery and execution. The performance reward scheme was discontinued. The company has no vision / meaning or drive. The company is not innovative. This is a family company. High employee turnover. Slow! progression. Slow paced. Data Scientist: You might be in heaven but the infrastructure might not support your efforts. Junior data science team, with junior management. No real mentorship or expert advice. BA: I feel that there are no real challenges after the first 3 months and that most tasks are mundane and boring. You might end up with a passive aggressive manager who ignores your development / personal goals. Your work might involve cleaning the poorly written code of people who got promoted. You might feel that you are a robot and that your ideas will seldom / never matter. Probably nobody will care about using your talents for growing the company. There might be no real mentorship / training / development / feedback. There seems to be 0 room for progression. Pay seems to be below average. Dev: You might, potentially, work with faulty processes, poor code, 2-3 year developments that are prioritised but never finished. Designer: There seems to be no real focus on UX. Similarly, there doesn’t seem to be a good data-driven user understanding. You might not be able to impact most processes and your concepts won’t always make it through.

TL;DR - Most of the good reviews are fake and the CEO/COO told some to put a good word to counterbalance it. Avoid, run away, and don't look back. After COVID there are no benefits whatsoever, the office culture is dead, no perks nor parties (even for Christmas), and no reimbursements. No health insurance. No official option to work from abroad, although long-term employees (9+ years) are able to do so. Communication is really hard between teams and no company-wide notifications, which makes it difficult to follow what is actually going on. Poor career progression - higher management seems deaf to the possibility of advancing. Many people are self-promoting themselves on socials to look better in CVs, as PredictX is ignorant to do it. There are a few key people (long term, 7+ years) that are really hard to work with and bottlenecking the work for the whole company - it's been happening for years, has been raised multiple times, everyone is aware and no one does anything to improve the workflow. Sales are constantly selling the products PredictX does not have, and everyone is struggling to deliver them on time if the miracle of signing happens. The turnover of younger staff is high as they are paid close to nothing, and the more advanced staff is expected to work harder and longer hours to keep up with the deadlines, and to also review the new people's work. Once you're assigned to the project, there is no or very minimal help from others, which means taking longer holidays is difficult. Negative vibes in the office as there are managers that don't like each other and make everyone see it. During my cadence there were at least 6+ HR people, which didn't last long - no one wants to work in these conditions and lie to future candidates about how amazing the PredictX is.
