Pros

Working at Databricks has been an incredible experience! The company truly fosters a collaborative and inclusive culture, where every team member is empowered to do their best work. The emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion ensures that everyone feels valued and supported in their roles. Databricks offers amazing benefits, including equity, flexible time off, comprehensive healthcare, and even wellness perks like a monthly allowance for fitness or meditation. The leadership is visionary, with a clear mission to innovate in the data and AI space, making it exciting to be part of such groundbreaking work. The company also invests heavily in professional growth through learning budgets and career development opportunities. It’s no surprise that Databricks is consistently recognized as one of the best places to work. If you’re looking for a place where you can thrive both personally and professionally, Databricks is the place to be!

Cons

While Databricks as a whole is phenomenal, leadership at the local level can sometimes fall short. For example, in Costa Rica, the Director of Operations lacks strong leadership skills, which can create challenges. However, this is an isolated issue and does not reflect the overall excellence of Databricks. The culture and people I work with remain amazing!

Pros

Energized, transparent and collaboration culture. This is a rocketship that requires to be open to learning and be educated. The mid-long term vision is spectacular, and the day to day business in sales is good. Be prepared to work hard, and to select your battles, because there's plenty of things to do.

Cons

G-Docs is not my favorite, and I would like to be able to choose other than Mac.
