Collibra reviews

This place is toxic and an absolute mess. There are so many leaders here that should not be leaders - they are wildly unqualified and fail to grasp the basics of their role. These people create an endless amount of meaningless work in order to try to prove their relevancy. These leaders are causing the sparse remaining talent to leave in droves. When i spoke up to my manager about my profound unhappiness in my role due to micromanagement and being over worked - i was questioned about what was going on outside of work to cause such stress for me. It was never accepted or acknowledged that Collibra was the problem, and it was implied that it was my fault or my personal life that was prohibiting me from thriving here. I was told to feel empowered speak up about being underwater, but every time i spoke up i was told to have growth mindset. This place made me feel like a failure, but in hindsight i was set up to fail. Any ideas or thoughts I shared about changing process or questioning the status quo was met with confusion at best, or hostility & patronization at worst. I have been removed from this company for enough time to reflect upon my experience at Collibra clearly, and I can confidently say this was the worst experience of my professional life. The BOH systems are absolutely not in the place they need to be for a company of this size (far too much is still managed in excel or google sheets). Different teams are in different places with the quality of their data and systems which makes it incredibly challenging (read impossible) to work cross functionally. Over the two years I spent here - nothing changed, nothing improved. There is no clarity on the strategic plan or long term vision, it feels like everyone is constantly putting out fires and not spending any time thinking about how to prevent fires. Oh.. and stop being cheap. Pay people what they deserve and give teams the resources they need to be successful.

In four years, there has been at LEAST one RIF each year (losing GREAT people) Not hitting sales targets year after year (bad forecasting / bad leadership) Revolving door of sales Mgmt (4 in 4 years) and SE leadership (3 in 4 years). All the good people have jumped ship or been let go Will begin to lose to some of the big boys (AWS, GCP, etc) ~ can't stay competitive. CEO says one thing and does the opposite: "We are all safe no need for RIF, we are doing very well " - 2 weeks later 15% of company let go. Stock is tanking FAST You will be a number at Collibra = And will be 100% at risk of losing your job at any time (even if you do a GREAT job/Promotions/etc)
