Databricks reviews

There does not seem to be any consideration for work/life balance with some managers just saying get used to working all hours of the day. There is no bonus structure and no 401k match so your salary is your only compensation. Politics are playing a bigger role with managers free to hire and advance friends from prior companies. Diversity driven discrimination looks to be growing as well.

Not so much a con as a warning - this is hard work. There's more to learn than is reasonable, the pace of change is blinding, and the founders are clearly driving towards a goal with everything they've got. The culture reflects that - there's always more to learn, or do, and lots of opportunity to help out other folks that are in the same position. Goals are aggressive - sales goals, engineering goals, everything, and we all believe that we can make it happen. But that means hard work and dedication. It's tough to get hired here, and when you do, they expect a lot. If you're not ready for that, if you're not at a place in your life where you can put in the extra effort, it might not be the place for you.
