Pros

Great product. Momentum in the market.

Cons

The management comp plan is based on 70% actual Consumption vs. 30% for new commit sales or Upgrades. It is very difficult to over-achieve. We spend 85% of our team working on Commit deals but it has very little effect on your earnings.

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.
