Too many toxic people, too many people doing side jobs, bad work-life balance
Pros
-They finally hired a person for Speak Up Investigations for the first time -Good benefits -Good compensation -The company is booming so it is easy to sell -Many great people
Cons
-Doing everything to pay us less. Account Executives got their quotas increased for September 2024 to pay them less. Hiring cheaper field engineering people with less experience. -The culture is not like in the US, in Europe they do not follow the company culture values -No repercussions for unethical behavior (sexual harassment, cheating, verbal agressions, psychological abuse) which breeds a culture of toxic people. I have never worked with such difficult people who need to go to therapy urgently. -A lot of fake pipeline creation from busdev before September 2024, impacting negatively those who did quality honest work -Still a lot of sexual harassment towards women -They do not want to hear your honest opinion, they will cancel you if you share it in public -Toxic work-life balance, people are often sick or don´t want to take sick leave to not ruin their "brand" -People unhappy with back to office but it makes sense since so many people have another job or side gig apart from Databricks, so they are often not available for Databricks and it makes other people have to work double to compensate for their lack of support. Leaders are not checking if their teammates are actually working. Many people don't even work on Fridays. -Not enough background checks, very toxic hires because of this. People fired from certain companies end up here. -They force you to be ultra competitive through manipulation, junior people work more than 10 hours a day every day to get a promotion. This causes a lot of unhappiness and unethical behavior.
