Pros

Joined the company just before Covid and I've been onboarded and trained during the last months. I have several experiences in the Tech industry. So Why it's a very nice place to work ? - Onboarding is very cadenced and you have all the support you need (Sales Perf team, Mentor, colleagues, execs call...) during this phase. Content is very interesting, not too difficult to understand and the way to present it make it easier to learn in the most efficient way. You get sharp feedback - Culture is fantastic and you really feel it with the people you talk to in the organisation. All aligned on the same basis and make it easier to execute our vision, collaborate... Colleagues are available for help in any request/question - Vision & Technology : UNIQUE in the market, that really fit with clients pains. (Each time I talk to clients, I only get really positive feedbacks on our products and vision) - People : HR and people department are really focus on employee wellbeing (for real, it's not only words) many initiatives across the organisation to make DB the best place to work. Managers are very smarts and keen to HELP on any challenges. Many pros on my side but what I like the most is the ability of the company to react on any issue/change/event in the market. That makes us really agile to face new challenges ahead. "Just really proud and happy to work for Databricks"

Cons

Not much, maybe we can sometimes be overwhelmed but it's more linked to time management. Classic challenges related to hyper growth company.
