Pros

Excellent cultural values that are practiced willingly, not just preached by SLT. The opportunity for each employee to grab their future with both hands, change the shape of the business and grow personally and professionally is right there in front of them. You get out what you put in, for sure. The variety of customers and the variety of projects and engagements is huge, meaning that no two days are the same. Excellent Product Management team with a fantastic vision of the future. The CPO is a true visionary.

Cons

The break-neck pace is not for everyone.

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.
