Pros
Lots of hype and empty words from upper management and CEO. dbt Labs is like a cult. You will enjoy it here if you like being in one.
Cons
People leaving 5 star reviews for a company that just went through multiple rounds of layoffs is exactly what is wrong with this company. It is full of Inconsiderate and short sighted people whose overblown egos have destroyed lives. Yet some have the audacity to say that it has done wonders for their career ! Disgusting. The values of this company are as big as a joke as their business model. At my time at dbt Labs I have seen people get fired left right and centre for reasons as small as minor disagreements, not meeting a minor part of their quarter goal, or due to a random out of the blue restructure. It's a lottery ! dbt is a declining business, with ever growing competition. Every other kid on the block has taken their open source offering and build a cloud solution around it which is 10x better than what dbt offers. Worst of all they compete with their own open source offering. The upper management, particularly the CEO are highly incompetent. And as with all ego driven organisations, the upper management has built circles around themselves to protect their jobs. Everyone is on the list to get fired, unless you are in that sweet inner circle. If you bootlicked your way up there, you will be expected to leave a 5 star review here for obvious reasons.
