Pros

Databricks may have the greatest combination of technical talent ever assembled. The company's goals and collaborative culture trickle down to all employees like its law. Performance reviews are every 6 months(biannually) so you can grow and be rewarded quickly within the company. If you like to travel there will be opportunities to do so. It's also unbelievable how the company is able to keep the hiring talent bar high while growing at such a fast rate. Our list of clients is as extensive as it is impressive no matter the industry. All businesses are trying to understand their data to make better decisions. Databricks is the leader in making this possible.

Cons

- Typical startup growing pains due to rapid growth - Constant internal change to the organization, strategy and messaging can lead to confusion -Work/Life balance can be a challenge depending on client deadlines -Self Paced Training needs improvement -No single source of truth to learn material for spark certification(s)

Pros

+ Great transparency. + Employees are encouraged to challenge things they see in order to make them better without egos seen at a lot of high-growth companies. + Exciting and fast-growing industry. + Great customers. + Big focus on personal development to achieve your career goals. + Great team culture where people take ownership of their roles and jump in to help one another. + Smart and talented coworkers.

Cons

- Fast growth so some details were skipped that now need to be fixed, such as building processes and foundations for some programs. - Long hiring process (it's good for ensuring high quality talent, but can take a very long time to get someone onboard)
