Pros

I've been in this industry for 20+ years and can honestly say, the people at Databricks are some of the smartest I've worked with. Love the culture and feel like everyone is on the same team and working towards a common goal. Everyone leans in to help each other, great team collaboration. Great comp/benefits/culture/leaders are top notch. Amazing and engaged CEO and executive leadership across the board. So glad I decided to join last year. Best decision ever!

Cons

Some aspects are still very much like a start up which may be tough for some but I personally prefer.

Pros

Culture -- top-to-bottom, people are collaborative and results-oriented. Innovative -- the company vision of being the best data-and-ai platform and The Lakehouse requires continuous innovation. Leadership are future-focused and execute in a measured yet ambitious manner with enough urgency to keep raising the bar while simultaneously sustaining high morale. Learning -- as a technologist, I am always learning. The platform has many aspects and is continuously evolving, so learning opportunities arise regularly. Rewarding -- Helping clients is rewarding and feels like a genuine win-win as clients increase their platform usage. Compensation and non-monetary rewards are nice too. C-suite -- it maintains its scrappy ambitiousness that helps fuel a great startup culture. Meanwhile, they are true professionals and are fact-driven, leveraging data to guide decisions and adjust strategy.

Cons

Too many enticing things to learn or explore on the platform.
