I am personally aware of a situation where developers were given freedom to run the Oracle database. Now that an upgrade is needed the developers are either gone or expecting the Operations DBA team to fix things. Three different failures, based on the poor organization of the application, have cost jobs.

Whether or not MongoDB and the like changes this, I do not know. But if I were going to interview at a place with a large relational DB in production and no DBAs, I'd certainly look elsewhere.
