Pros

Best place in my 20 years in the professional workforce. - Founders and leaders hold high standards through noble values and humility. - Culture of collaboration, transparency, and dedication. Also focused on equality and inclusion. - Best cloud-native Data Science Platform in the World, based on open-source for Advanced Analytics. - Growing in Data Lakes and Data Warehouse space by helping customers finally gain reliability and performance from their prior investments in Big Data. - Employees and partners enable customers to make a real impact in their field. Bonus for Public Sector team: Best VP in the business - and hardest-working Federal GM - they will help you succeed!

Cons

No issues as long as one possesses #Grit. It’s fast-paced and exciting, so understand you’re joining the most amazing start-up you could imagine. No room for egos and be ready to “own it”.

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.
