Pros

- growth is top tier, IPO will be big - strong engineering culture - leadership (and the company as a whole) is more transparent than any company I have ever worked for - hackathon every quarter which is a great way for engineers to work on things they want to - extremely competitive healthcare, benefits, pay

Cons

- no 401k match - onboarding remotely was a little isolating

Pros

Fast and Deliberate. Strong and effective leadership across ALL areas of the business. great company and team culture.

Cons

You WILL work really hard here, so if that isn't for you... (I put this in CONS since I think most people from the outside might as well unless they are like me and many of us here at Databricks who thrive in a fast, challenging environment)

Pros

- Remote friendly - Strong compensation and perks/benefits - Extremely transparent company/CEO which is honestly so nice. - Very smart and capable colleagues. - Generally quite good code quality

Cons

- No 401k match I think - WLB is tough in a company that is trying to grow as much as we are. But that's what we signed up for
