      Intense Work

      Pros

      - The people are by-far the best engineers I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Think of the best person on your team, and they are merely average at databricks. - The work is fun, pay is top-notch.

      Cons

      - Bait and switch on RTO, now requires 3 days per week with badge tracking. - Hours can get intense approaching releases. - There is an elitist vibe at the company where the engineers think know they are the best and look down on other companies. Been laid off? Don't bother applying as you will be pre-filtered. Any roles last shorter than 2 years? Be prepared to have pristine references. - Old boys club; any change that impacts user facing surface area expect to need L8 approval from your Uber-TL, and whoever at the company is the gatekeeper. There is a definite in and out crowd highly correlated with tenure and seniority.
