How is the work culture at Publicis Sapient for Data Engineers?

If you are a Data Engineer and looking forward to working in Publicis Sapient, you have come to the right place. Although I am not a Data Engineer, I have worked with different people on multiple projects over time. During those interactions, I have analyzed the work-life of various people. But first, let’s dive into an introduction to Data Engineers and their work nature.

 

Who are Data Engineers?

Data Engineers and Data Scientists work closely, and their work often overlaps in the organization. Data Engineers develop, test and maintain data pipelines, which are used by Data Scientists for analysis. In general, Data Engineers work on technologies such as Big Data, Java, Python, SQL, NoSQL, Cloud Computing, GCP, AWS S3 storage. Data Scientists use Python and Machine Learning algorithms for data analysis and present data visually using tools like Power BI or custom platforms. Data Analysts who work on data visualization and cleaning on small data sets, grow into either of these two categories as per their inclinations.

 

Generally, a Data Engineer's job is not demanding as it is not time-critical work. But in some cases, data cleaning and pipeline building are difficult due to complex/incomplete data.

 

Work Culture at Publicis Sapient for Data Engineers

I cannot specifically tell about the work culture for Data Engineers as every project has a different work environment and ambience. In my team, managers are cool, empathic and caring. I frequently get appreciations or small rewards for hard work in the form of evening snacks and small gifts.

Work-life balance is again dependent on the team’s structure, individual communication skills and work responsibilities. In sprint planning, work is defined for two weeks with some bandwidth for exigencies. Daily scrum meetings result in better expectations and efficiency even during remote working.

Overall, the work culture at Publicis Sapient is wonderful for me as I get ample learning and growth opportunities. Last year, I got opportunities to lead my team and did well without any prior experience. My work and efforts were recognized by the manager, and I got work responsibilities accordingly.
