Pros

Probably the best job I've ever had! This is a fantastic company to work for. In every department you meet brilliant, talented and committed people doing amazing things. We're growing fast and developing some amazing products and really transforming the industry. Management is super supportive of employees and has been fantastic during the COVID pandemic, making sure to check in regularly and find ways to accommodate needs. They always emphasize the importance of regular PTO and other forms of employee wellness.

Cons

Busy, busy, busy! Growing this fast means hectic schedules, and an ever-changing landscape of people and processes. It's impossible to keep up with the deluge of email and notifications. There are lots of internal projects to help organize and optimize time and resources, but nobody can keep up at this pace. Still - it's a great problem to have :D

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.
