      Micromanagement to strictly follow the sales methodology

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent technology and a rocket ship with huge growth

      Cons

      Micromanagement to strictly follow sales methodology. No work-life-balance because of a lot of internal reviews and senseless requests. Poor sales leadership that creates a culture of fear through threats and derailed monitoring. Not clear and changing requirements created by sales leadership

      Great company with business and career growth

      Customer success
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      + Great transparency. + Employees are encouraged to challenge things they see in order to make them better without egos seen at a lot of high-growth companies. + Exciting and fast-growing industry. + Great customers. + Big focus on personal development to achieve your career goals. + Great team culture where people take ownership of their roles and jump in to help one another. + Smart and talented coworkers.

      Cons

      - Fast growth so some details were skipped that now need to be fixed, such as building processes and foundations for some programs. - Long hiring process (it's good for ensuring high quality talent, but can take a very long time to get someone onboard)

      A lot of talk without walking the walk

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company is growing like crazy.

      Cons

      Party lines give cover to poor, sometimes sketchy practices. Management touts innovation, hiding behind the image of cutting-edge technology while embracing politics, towing the line even when unethical. Cool technology only goes so far when you realize the people responsible for our continued growth are overly invested in broken practices. It may be worth it to ride the rest of this immediate wave but there are regular patterns of behavior that point to Databricks being a poor long-term time investment.
