Pros

Visionary CEO and Founding team with a strong product roadmap

Cons

Ruthless Hire and Fire policy implemented by a few teams in India expecially GDC Professional Services team. Firing is fully discriminated and leadership is favorable and Biased towards a few people. Lot of Regional Bias and horrible culture. You never know who they fire and that too with a couple of week's notice and in some cases a day's notice. CEO insists on strong technical leadership, but a few leaders in India lack basic knowledge on Databricks. They are mastered in Firing ruthlessly. CEO gives high impact technical presentations, while middle management mumble infront of customers or they shield themselves using RSAs. Structured, performance based and unbiased lay off's based on performance are totally fine. Ruthless firing and being favorable to a specific set of people based on region is unbearable. I am writing with bottom of my heart that mid-senior leadership is safe guarding folks from their region and firing potential talent.
