I signed a promissory note. I paid it all back.

Got messaged by a C3 . ai recruiter. Read that wlb is bad and that the interview process is absurdly long, but the Glassdoor reviews are 4.2 and can't find actual hours worked posted by anyone. How's the culture really? I'd be aiming for DS consulting, something more functional but with DS/ML concepts as my differentiator.

Depends on what you work on. My experience as an (on prem) user and not a DBA was that it's nothing difficult for the out of the box stuff. But it did also give me enough rope to hang myself once I got creative and started building my own platform on top.
The good was I could build everything my team didn't know they needed while never leaving the tools both the company and I were used to. That means I could make everything faster. Didn't have to stumble around with a new vendor's tech regularly, and got to avoid the time sink of tech approvals (irrelevant in some companies/orgs, but huge in others).
The bad was that documentation gets pretty sparse once you start using something like an oversized swiss army knife.
Since we're here now, on a personal note... Having an overly integrated stack kinda hurt my resume. Everyone else got to doddle in things like cloud and several databases, while I lived and breathed my single-vendor on-prem deployment. Bleh. At least the concepts translate.
Yes. Knowing regular SQL will be fine.
