Pros

+ Company as a whole doing well and good revenue numbers + Talent bar is generally pretty high but not as good as it once was and starting to lose top talent

Cons

- Toxic management + terrible wlb - Becoming increasingly political, which projects you get to work on, promo performance reveiw, has been increasingly about who know. - within AI, constant project churn/changing of road map + lack of product vision, very few successful products - substantially decreased refreshers + comp recently, especially for those who have been there a long time - slow career growth + promo timelines and no longer with the increased pay to justify it - no longer really innovating or doing anything interesting as a company - still no 401k

Pros

Get to know and work on the latest Databricks features. Interaction with people from different geographies. If you are coming from a WITCH service company, then PS will feel like a much better place.

Cons

PS leadership, along with the recruitment team, they skimp on hires or bait-and-switch them. If you are coming from MNC Product, GCC. You will find in PS things vague and confusing. GDC Leadership that is bureaucratic, not forward-thinking, only asks for status rather than trying to get a handle on things. GDC often feels like a cult, the leader at the top TD makes everyone feel so. The PS GDC lacks image as a high-quality, high-value team
