      Pros

      With the level of innovation at Databricks, quick decision-making is critical. No two fiscal quarters are alike as we continually evolve our operations. It keeps us on our toes - sometimes it can be overwhelming, but it also gives us that excitement for what's to come.

      Cons

      If constant and rapid change is a demotivating factor for someone, this environment may not be the right fit.

      Unclear leadership rhetoric around IPO. Lots of operational toil in engineering, especially platform. Work-life balance is bad. Pressure is high.

      Read the other reviews. Changing culture. Not what it used to be.

      Pros

      free lunches good benefits good product -albeit difficult to install.

      Cons

      Databricks was a great place to work the last 3+ years that has changed. Recently many from AWS have been brought into Databricks and changed the culture overnight. Databricks used to have a "no jerks" policy that has changed. Very few sales reps are making their sales number and the very little equity is being given out and a lot of turnover. Small and a lof of sales reps. Lots of micromanagement, it seems the new AWS middle management just refreshes Salesforce dashboards all day. Very little value brought in by the mid level managers from AWS. Databricks used to always have a "customer first" attitude. That has totally changed. Lots of turn over since a lot of reps are not making their quota. The consumption quotas are very high.
