      Working (and learning) a lot

      Senior solutions consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Very well paid - Exposure to very smart, collaborative coworkers - Client projects can be interesting - Databricks is a great product and it's cool to be a part of the journey - Remote is nice - Many little perks (gym reimbursement, free lunches in some offices, learning and development reimbursement, etc) - Unlimited PTO (but you have to plan ahead to schedule between engagements)

      Cons

      - Projects are routinely understaffed (50+ hour weeks, occasionally weekends if necessary) - no 401k match

      1st Year at Databricks

      Procurement specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company culture is great, the flexibility and the trust on my work is a very cool thing. I have learned a lot in my first year

      Cons

      When I started the benefits were pretty good, however, the company cut off some of them or decrease them and it was disappointed since latinamerica was the most affected region.

      Great company mired by not great sales culture

      Solutions architect
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I won't say anything surprising here: - The tech is great. I love building things with Databricks - I believe in executive leadership vision - The company is successful. I think my equity is worth something I would write more about the pros here, but others have said most of what I could say.

      Cons

      Small cons first - No 401K matching - Our infrastructure policies are weird and delete things you create after a few weeks. So you end up in a situation where that app/pipeline/ML model/agent you made doesn't work just in time for a demo sometimes These aren't a big deal. What is a big deal is that there is not a small chance you will run into a toxic work environment as an SA. - In my < 1 year tenure here, I've heard of multiple instances where other Solutions Architects were fired because they upset sales leadership. My AE was also fired for upsetting sales leadership. - We conduct anonymous culture surveys every six months. On a group call, a sales manager reviewed the feedback someone had written about her and attempted to identify the author of the feedback. It was uncomfortable. - I don't have the time to go into all of the insanity with Salesforce rules and reporting. Or the scorecard sales execs have. Or the many internal calls related to the two. I can only say no rational human will enjoy it
