Pros

- Kind, smart, driven, conscious, empathetic, intelligent, caring people - Awesome product, great engineering and product teams that actually do user research and develop based on user feedback - Really, really great People Ops team. TONS of resources for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+. Tons of internal events to keep people engaged, motivated, connected. - Lots of attention paid to individual growth by everyone from direct managers all the way to leadership team

Cons

- Growing really really really fast so keeping up to date on product features, updates, supported integrations is a tough task. Everyone has their own repository of content so a lot of repeated work being done in silos. - Product surface area is very large and growing every day. Makes it hard to get a good grasp on who the target persona are and delve deep into a specific functionality or domain. Have to be a jack of all trades and split attention between many different parts of the platform.

Pros

Great teams made up of smart, motivated people. Databricks is an exciting place to work because it is part of the growing data and AI tools space. The benefits and income are also good overall.

Cons

Databricks no longer feels like a startup. There are now multiple layers of bureaucracy, and leadership can feel territorial rather than collaborative. Over time, it can seem like business growth and internal politics have become stronger drivers than innovation or employee experience. For long-tenured employees, it may become harder to stay excited or feel challenged. Other companies may offer a more energizing environment.
