Pros

- Incredible rate of product innovation - continues to deliver more value to customers - Increased investment in operational rigor as we prepare to scale even faster - Transparent leadership culture - There's a high bar on recruiting, it's incredibly hard to find a Brickster that is not competent and dedicated to their job - Our solution is applicable to many different industries which creates compelling customer proof points no matter who you're selling to - Scheduled company days off that help employees to recharge - Tremendous career opportunities, we are growing so fast that if you display hard work and dedication, you will get opportunities to move up or transition to a different role if you so choose There are many, many people that have been at Databricks for three, four, five-plus years. This shows you that this is a company you can build your career at.

Cons

- You will be asked to do a lot. The pace is very fast here. If you're not ready to bring it every week, you will fall behind

Pros

- If you are motivated by making an impact, this is truly your best playground. I'm surrounded by smart people who aim to have a holistic view on the problems we're solving, no matter which department you're in. - Lots of untapped potentials in many of the departments. Since we are aiming to build a great company, with our exponential growth in the last few years and the current stage of our growth, there are a lot of rooms for us to transform the org into a well-oiled machine. By the time we reach the "well-oiled machine stage," we'll most likely outgrow that and pursue the next growth stage. This has been the funnest and most rewarding company I've ever worked at.

Cons

In the scale of work/life balance, many of us probably tip heavier on the work side than balance. But then again, most people aren't joining a startup company for work/life balance.
