Pros

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.

Pros

Position allows you to very quickly get extensive Python experience. Work within wide variety of different environments and projects. Introduction to DevOps/Automation which is a hot job market. Huge exposure to Open Source community. Learn to quickly build and turn over Proof of Concepts. Allows room to grow. Fairly self driven allowing you to set a lot of your own priorities. Flexible hours, laid back environment.

Cons

Being self-driven, there can be periods where it is hard to find direction. Some projects hit roadblocks and become hard to drive forward. You'll be following behind me... so you have big shoes to fill (/flex).

Pros

Your career and job satisfaction is in your hands. You'll have lots of latitude to not only get the job done, but also to be creative in how you do it. There's unlimited potential for growth. It's fast-moving and never dull. You get to work with some of the top brands in the industry, which in itself can be extremely rewarding.

Cons

Sometimes, the fast-pace can get a little tiring. There's not often a chance to slow down or learn from mistakes.
