      Databricks reviews

      Don't sell here; Sales Leadership is toxic, and HR will not help you or fix it. - Account Executive Databricks Employee Review

      Pros

      Large market, and significant VC funding.

      Cons

      1) The politics and internal pontifications that sales leadership forces, are riduclous. Clearly, sales leadership overall is unwilling(call reluctant/afraid) to engage business executives where the value really matters. They spend 80%+ of everyones time scrutinizing internally, not w/customers. 2) HR will not stand up for, or listen to employees.

      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.
