dbt Labs Reviews

Although there's a lot of encouragement to maintain work/life balance, there's also so much to do that it can slip away if you don't pay attention.

My journey -> Left a very stable employment -> Joined dbt, as an ultra-stable startup after being told by the CEO that they had 4+ years of runway and beyond positive outlook -> Got amazing feedback for work -> Made redundant near 6 months in the most degrading manner possible The exec team will kick you to the curb with little to no consideration at the first indication of a market downturn because you are garbage to them. Some companies invest in their employees and allow them to grow: not dbtLabs, here employees are on the chopping board as soon as they miss any deliverables and you'll see them abruptly disappear on the daily. If this toxic environment is created by the execs just out of pure incompetence or lack of experience, is beyond me. The CEO loves to talk big and give speeches on inclusiveness and human-ness but don't be fooled, it's all empty pompous talk. The CFO and rest of exec team is no better and come from backgrounds with little to no experience in doing the job they are meant to do, except from firing ppl (its a solution to all their problems).
