      What are perks and other benefits like at Databricks?

      Databricks reviews

      Great culture, strong exec leaderships, and good market positioning

      Sr. solutions architect
      Current employee
      Charlotte, NC
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Very strong execs, though it’s still got a startup feel, the execs (many are still co founders which is amazing) already act like they are running a public company with the vision and discipline it needs to succeed long-term. Ali is just brilliant. - Culture is great as they take their cultural principles seriously, especially transparency and customer-first. I like that better than other start-ups I’ve worked at. - People are friendly and helpful. - Product positioning is great for this market and the needs from large enterprises

      Cons

      - Product complexity (long standing perception is still managed spark with notebooks which is no longer the focus). The company is laser focused on making the product simpler, so that will finally change that perception and make the product more appealing and accessible to business people - No 401k match (though other benefits are above industry standards like fitness perks and RSUs)

      Exciting work with great teams, but bureaucratic challenges

      Solutions architect
      Former employee

      Business Outlook

      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.
