Be mindful of Hire and Fire
Be mindful of Hire and Fire
Visionary CEO and founding team with a strong product roadmap.
Ruthless hire and fire policy implemented by a few teams in India, especially the 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 weeks' notice and in some cases a day's notice.
CEO insists on strong technical leadership, but a few leaders in India lack basic knowledge of Databricks. They are masters in firing ruthlessly. CEO gives high-impact technical presentations, while middle management mumbles in front of customers or they shield themselves using RSAs.
Structured, performance-based and unbiased layoffs 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 from the bottom of my heart that mid-senior leadership is safeguarding folks from their region and firing potential talent.
Insist on mid senior management to have strong leadership and technical skills. Neither does mid senior management have technical knowledge, nor are they capable of delivering a technical vision for the team. The technical team is strong, but with non-technical mid-senior leadership, the company's growth and reputation are badly affected.

There seemed like a lot of interviews in the process, but culture is a huge deal at the company. It was pretty challenging in some respects, but always friendly and professional.
