Pros

If I have to put something, it would be the pay and benefits.

Cons

If I were to describe my time at Collibra in one word, it would have to be… “Vile”. Incompetent leadership, an unwillingness to change or adapt to new ways of thinking or working. Dishonest people in leadership positions plagiarizing work. There are cliques who bully and make others feel pretty uncomfortable and unwelcome. Do not raise any feelings of unhappiness - you’re ignored, told not to share your feelings with anyone or told you’re wrong. There is a weird toxic positivity here. People claiming to be happy in public, but desperately sad behind closed doors. If integrity is important to you. This is not the place for you. The only positive thing about my time at Collibra would be the salary and benefits. But I’ve quickly learnt that money cannot buy your happiness. I’d like to add that a number of people were recently laid-off, in a pretty awful manner. I was not one of them, so this post does not come from a place of anger.

Pros

Smart, collaborative people focused on solving real customer problems in the AI era. Leadership hasn't shied away from the moment, they've leaned in with AI enablement and given employees access to the tools needed to stay relevant. The work is demanding, but Collibra is making the right moves to stay ahead of the market and evolve alongside its customers.

Cons

Like any fast-growing company, things move quickly and priorities can shift. While I can appreciate the shifts are to stay ahead or evolve with the market, somedays, it can be alot.

Pros

Good pay, decent benefits, remote/hybrid work

Cons

The compensation and benefits are competitive, but in my experience they came at the cost of employee wellbeing, psychological safety, and ethical leadership. This was one of the most toxic workplace cultures I have experienced. Leadership frequently lacked transparency, accountability, and empathy. Employees who raised concerns about culture, discrimination, management behavior, or workplace fairness were often dismissed, blamed, or made to feel the issue was theirs to solve rather than something leadership needed to address. I witnessed and experienced behavior that I believe reflected racism, sexism, ageism, favoritism, and ongoing gaslighting from leadership. Trust in HR and “anonymous” feedback processes was extremely low, as many employees did not feel safe speaking honestly without fear of retaliation or being discussed openly afterward. The environment was highly hierarchical, heavily micromanaged, and emotionally exhausting. The stress and anxiety from working here had a significant impact on my mental health and overall wellbeing. While the compensation may initially seem appealing, I would strongly encourage prospective employees to carefully evaluate whether the company’s culture and ethical standards align with the type of workplace they want long term, particularly employees from underrepresented backgrounds.
