Pros

Team-first attitude ensures that you always get the help you need. My colleagues are some of the smartest people I've ever worked with. I am constantly learning both technical skills and business acumen. The company invests in its people often hiring from within and providing leadership development opportunities for ICs wishing to transition to management positions. I feel recognized for the work I do and supported when I work on projects that may fall outside the strict definition of the job.

Cons

We're a big company now with small company problems. Our internal operational systems have not scaled with our growth. Still a lot of "institutional knowledge" from the field that needs to be better documented. High expectations for the company can create stressful stretches of time to meet ambitious goals. Programs are in place to address the lack of diversity but we still need to make way more progress to be a more diverse workplace.

Pros

The technical people are advanced in their skill sets

Cons

Sales in Databricks are seen as "Top Dogs" who essentially can get away with anything. For example, I saw rudeness/aggression/intimidation to databricks customer partners and nothing was done about it. There was also bullying from Sales Leads (AE's) and not only will you get no support, but you will be blamed for any issues. Working here affected my mental health badly - the manipulation and narrative particular protected people strung was infuriating. Micromanagement was a daily hassle, so was diary snooping and so evidencing an obvious lack of trust and suspicion between AEs, senior management and field engineers / SAs.
