      Pros

      Great onboarding process, lots of transparency from leadership, and great/collaboration teams.

      Cons

      The work/life balance is not quite there yet since this company is growing so quick. There are times where you'll be expected to work outside of business hours.

      Great culture, strong leadership, and huge potential

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Great leadership. Management is highly invested in the development of the individual. -Culture is strong. The company is not only selective in hiring, but hollistic as well in its approach. The result is the people you get to work with are not just smart, but also incredible people. I find myself humbled everyday by the calibre of my colleagues. -Market potential is astronomical and leadership is making all the right moves to capture it. The company is unquestionably a thought leader in the space, and it's great to see us actively innovating the product to both augment our TAM as we encroach on the traditional DW space, and continue to innovate our bread and butter AI/data science and core infrastructure offerings. As a sales person this is the dream - getting to sell a world-class product. -Every company can always improve diversity, but Databricks is by far the most diverse company I've ever worked with. They take DEI seriously. -Sales culture specifically is incredible. Not the typical frat house sales culture you often see in tech sales.

      Cons

      -the classic hypergrowth startup pains, processes are a bit wonky, etc. Leadership is keenly aware of it though and working to remedy. Issues that happen as a result of this get fixed quickly once you raise it. -product has historically catered to data scientists, and as such is quite complex. As we broaden the scope of our market, and clash with DW players like Snowflake, we need to continue to simplify our product/messaging to cater to non-technical executives and analyst personas.

      Bad Choice for young professionals

      Pros

      Great benefits, amazing product, outstanding CEO.

      Cons

      There is a systemic development problem within the sdr org. I would go to a more established company that is renowned for its training and career paths. As a young professional you need to go somewhere that will develop you and work hard to retain you. Unfortunately databricks is not that place right now.
