Pros

The core technology (Apache Spark) is the de-facto choice for big data analytics, the founders of Databricks are the team behind Spark. The product (Databricks) is off-the-charts good and the engineering team behind it is world class. The culture is friendly and balanced; "good humans" work here. We work hard and recognise that there is a world away from work. Everyone is at the top of their game, there are some incredibly smart people here & I learn something every day. The leadership team are connected and engaged, very smart and passionate. We are still at the "build" phase of Databricks, so every day is exciting and there is an opportunity for everyone to contribute to the company foundations through process creation and definition, systems, hiring etc.

Cons

None so far, I am super excited.

Pros

Outstanding leadership team that is extremely focused. A work environment that provides and encourages continued learning. Customers love the product and are great supporters of the company. Investors that use their contacts to help open doors to new potential customers.

Cons

You need to want to be in a hyper growth company environment. It is exciting but a great deal of work and to be happy here you need to want that type of challenge.

Pros

Fantastic culture made up of super intelligent, highly motivated, and fun people. Honesty and integrity are core values. Huge focus on successful customer outcomes.

Cons

No real cons. It is a hyper-growth rocket ship, so there are the usual growing pains, but nothing that slows down the mission to build a great company.
