Pros

What Databricks does is truly revolutionary. They innovate so fast and I get to work with some of the brightest people ever

Cons

Leadership coming in from other big tech companies is eroding the culture and the IPO is an ever moving target, so people are underpaid for what they do

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.
