      Pros

      Databricks is on the cutting edge of technology. The product is complex and there are lots of opportunities for growth. The culture is collaborative and I've been impressed with managers who want to understand and support my career goals. Leadership is very transparent. This is a high growth company - things change fast and there are growing pains as teams keep up - this is expected and hasn't been a negative for me. If you can adapt to change and are willing to adopt to fill in gaps where needed it's a great place to be.

      You will work very hard and you will get a lot done

      Pros

      The current level of talent and employee attitude here is excellent. Bricksters are generally well intentioned, collaborative, very smart, and very hard working. There is a shared and embraces sense of company-first mission. Things get done here very rapidly. A real 'GSD' (Getting Stuff Done) culture. I think that Databricks has a bright future, and your compensation normally includes the RSUs (company stock), which, hopefully will pay off when the company goes IPO.

      Cons

      Having such a fast paced, high bar, rapid delivery culture comes with expected downsides: - Employee burnout is real, though it is often self-driven - Bias for action sometimes backfires and work has to be redone / backtracked - Like in any fast growing company, technical debt is real and not always addressed in a timely manner From the compensation perspective, the stock awards (RSUs) are not liquid since the company is still private.

      Depends on the team you’re on

      Pros

      Some of the smartest and most ambitious people you’ll meet Great product, well regarded in the market

      Cons

      Your success largely depends on the team and territory you’re assigned. Somewhat of a hire and fire culture if you don’t ramp up to speed quick
