Pros

It's impossible to work at Databricks and not become smarter/better with every month. Through mere osmosis you are exposed: - to a world of problem solving strategies - to the smartest people in the planet - to a general passion for doing great things

Cons

There's so much transparency and content to consume sometimes it's overwhelming, you can get lost reading meticulous design docs and understanding architecture choices.

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.
