Pros

- Very smart people to work and learn with - Top of latest technologies and innovation - Great Benefits - Stock options - Local management is great

Cons

- As it is a high growth company the workload can overpass you very quick - Life-work-balance is hard to maintain - Decisions from above in the organization are oriented sometimes to make the work and KPI targets harder rather than help with the current workload

Pros

Hyper growth company who’s positioned extremely well to deliver AI capabilities to enterprises across all industries. Technical resources are phenomenal. Both those who support the sales motion and those who overlay specific product areas. The company is always focusing on making the platform easier to use and has accomplished this through a multitude of strategic acquisitions that they quickly build into the platform. This makes Databricks particularly excellent at staying well ahead of the industry.

Cons

Skip and above level sales leadership is entirely too engaged on a week by week basis. Note this isn’t in the field with our customers but through weekly standing calls at SVP level where we listen to diatribe after diatribe about where we are falling short on the metric of the week cast down from above. We hire and promote operations not truly good leaders. The micro management is intense and your experience is highly dependent on your field level leader’s maturity and experience. If you get a newly promoted 30 something leader out of the sales ranks you are in for a rude awakening
