Avoid Working with Deepanjan Datta – Poor Leadership and Toxic Work Culture The HC team at Fractal is highly ineffective when it comes to supporting employees. they fail to address critical concerns when employees need them the most. Their inaction raises serious questions about their actual responsibilities. Regarding leadership, De epanjan Datta is an example of poor management. He lacks fundamental people management skills, micromanages excessively, and shifts blame onto his team instead of taking accountability. His approach creates a toxic work environment where employees feel undervalued and demotivated. He frequently complains about everyone—his own team, HC, EM, Directors, and even clients—but never reflects on his own shortcomings. Despite portraying himself as a thought leader, he struggles with clear communication, strategic planning, and task delegation. If you are assigned to a project with Deepanjan Datta, think twice before accepting it. His ego clashes with clients, backdoor politics, and inability to lead make working under him extremely difficult. Employees who challenge his poor leadership often find themselves unfairly targeted. The HC team enables such behavior, protecting senior employees regardless of their incompetence or negative impact on teams. Instead of addressing real concerns, they prioritize maintaining the status quo, contributing to a culture of employee dissatisfaction and high attrition. Fractal must focus on leadership accountability—employees deserve managers who uplift teams rather than drag them down. The HR function needs to prioritize real employee support over office politics if they truly value growth and well-being. Fractal needs to train people like Deepanjan who are clearly not capable to handle their roles effectively, because of people like this Fractal is not growing, Fractal doesnt give you good hike....Read More

Competitive salary, learning opportunities.

Dislikes

The learning opportunities can only be grabbed when you get time from your project work. Some of the clients they have have longer working hours and deliverables are too many. Because of this you will suffer in maintaining work life balance and will not be able to learn or get time for yourself....Read More

Not a lot if you are a software engineer. This is a good company for consulatnts, data scientists and incompetent managers who want to just chill.

Dislikes

Pretentious company with loads of talk around work culture, but its all on paper. If you are a passionate software engineer who likes to solve problems, you would not enjoy it here. Since, most client projects have a short duration, it is highly likely that you would not learn a lot and impr ove the product</mark>. Also, there is no mentorship culture here, no proper tech leads in any team. Project managers are completely useless and have no skill apart from playing the politics game. Also, Fractal creates accelerators instead of products which in simple term means create half-done products within a few months and not improve upon it later. Best thing to do would be stay here for an year and jump ship by upskilling on your own, as staying here you would not learn good practices for SDLC and it will affect later in your career....Read More
