      Product manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      High growth - big TAM and good execution against it Transparent and communicative CEO Startup-minded

      Cons

      Lack of investment in HQ office E-staff leaders encourage in-office but never leave the burbs Processes are broken - attempt at being nimble/noncommital has opposite effect and is bottlebecked by founders

      Happiest I've Been in my Professional Life

      Solutions architect
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Leadership (not just the execs, but even directors and managers) are humble even as they set an ambitious vision for the future Work gets busy in spurts, but overall the balance with life outside of work is ideal for me Really smart teammates who all are willing to help I'm not sure there's another company with so many resources (courses, readings, and teammates) to help with career growth. If you want to be surrounded by the best and smartest people in data, and you want to push yourself, Databricks is a great place.

      Cons

      This space changes so fast it can be hard to keep up with new developments.

      Best Comp Package, Good Culture, High Growth

      Strategic enterprise account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Fast pace of innovation which is very needed in this space - Strong and maturing sales culture - Highest pay package I have seen with major IPO potential - Thoughtful and sustainable growth (no layoffs, hopefully we aren’t over hiring, focus on profit over revenue at all costs) - Autonomy for senior salespeople, I’ve been working remotely the entire time and no RTO plans for my role

      Cons

      - Lots of hiring so we are still building and maintaining our unique culture with some bumps - Territories are not even and salesops decisions are immature (ie verticalizing mid-year causing major disruption due to poor planning) - Quotas increased dramatically (leadership very bullish on the product selling itself and needs to justify high comp packages)
