Pros

Databricks is one of the best organizations that I have been a part of. The perks and benefits that are definitely one of the best that you would see out there. Apart from this the most important to me is the work culture and the people. The people and the management at Databricks are very supportive and are always there to help, guide and support whenever needed. Hiring for my business teams here at Databricks I have felt that sense of being one team with your business which makes it such a cohesive partnership and an amazing experience for me.

Cons

Some of the processes are still shaping up in certain regions so one might need to ask around sometimes for certain aspects. But I am sure its just a matter of time, the way Databricks has been growing and has been a super employee centric company throughout its journey this too shall be seamless soon enough.

Pros

* A company full of wicked smart yet humble folks, great collaborative spirit, lots of contagious enthusiasm * Extremely transparent, truth seeking, bias for action culture - so many ways and opportunities to make your mark * So many interesting and unique technical, business, and customer challenges that come with working on a large-scale data platform - you will never be bored, and if you are, there's always something else to work on

Cons

* The product itself is moving fast, changes can be overwhelming, knowledge management is a neverending game of whack-a-mole * A ton of organizational growing pains as we've gone from 500 to 5,000 employees, sometimes overly vague reorgs, shifting career ladders, false starts at some programmatic rigor, I expect this to continue as we grow
