Pros

Apart from the obvious, that Databricks is the-sexiest-tech-company in the market right now, the environment is great, great benefits and lots to learn. I loved how the product onboarding was so detailed and careful. It's a complex product, but the company gives me all the tools I need to learn and do my job.

Cons

I miss having more local support, such as IT help and RH.

A lot of opportunity to learn. The product is great and easy to get behind. A broad range of customers and problems to solve. Surrounded by many experience people . Very helpful culture.

Cons

Can get quite hectic and intense sometimes, but not surprising for a scale-up/pre-ipo company Some processes need streamlining
