Pros

Coming from AWS where the pace of change creates a rewarding and challenging environment but what you see on the outside in their culture is not reflected internally. Databricks by keeping their culture and leadership principles true to form both internally and externally creates an environment that, in my opinion, is the best of both worlds. They foster an incredible culture in a very high paced relevant technology space with a high bar for talent. This comes together in an accountable yet collaborative selling environment where everyone is willing to help and who truly believe that we are all making the world better together.

Cons

If you consider it a con this is a fast past rapidly growing organization that requires it's employees to adapt quickly and pivot strategy base on a rapidly evolving marketplace. Some may not be up to this type of challenge.

Pros

Great people at all levels. Everyone I work with is incredibly smart and collaborative. Ali’s ability to communicate the deepest of technical concepts as well as a high level business roadmap is consistently amazing It’s so refreshing to be at a company that actually understands what it entails to be data driven. Most companies throw around terms like ML, AI, and big data with no real grasp on how to use the concepts. Databricks understands and often creates the playbook on these topics The work is interesting and I really couldn’t think of a better company to work at given the growing importance of data in tech and business Great cultural values that are actually adhered to. Transparency from the executive level best in class pay and benefits Really making an effort with diversity that shows both in terms of the employees and the resources for employees

Cons

Still developing processes as they transition out of being a startup Better 401k match would be nice, but pay and other benefits make up for it
