Pros

Incredibly smart colleagues, who work hard to keep improving. The "terrifying Databricks brain trust" is real - but human and humble. The products really work. We get love letters from customers about how their Databricks projects have been transformational, allowing them to solve problems that were previously impossible. (And often, we're much faster and cheaper too). I'm proud to be part of the team that's creating so much value for customers.

Cons

We've grown so fast! Some of our internal systems (like for IT and People) are fitting for a much smaller company, so some work is more manual than it should be. Management knows this and is racing to build the infra we need.

Pros

The quality of management and colleagues was impressive at interview, and doesn't cease to amaze everyday. This is caliber of sales team is difficult to find: highly motivated (as mgmt sets goals in the right way!), highly skilled, viciously disciplined - if you want to be the top of your game - this environment will get you there. Onboarding and training for new employees is right up there as being as good or maybe even better than any major/elite organization today. Company kick-off was exhilarating and energizing- serious but fun. The company is a rocketship in terms of growth, and management are in incredible lockstep with each other navigating the change this brings.

Cons

The company is evolving rapidly. This inevitably brings an environment of constant change.
