      Pros

      - The company is truly passionate about being the data and machine learning platform of choice for customers - Colleagues are incredibly smart and come from great backgrounds - Growth and user adoption are off the charts. The company makes major strategic anniuncements periodically. - It's still small enough to connect and learn from multiple groups

      Cons

      - A culture of favoritism and blame. Good work may go unnoticed but any slipups, even minor ones, lead to multiple stakeholders punishing you - Bloated middle management. Shockingly high number of hires in the mid/senior leadership tiers without filling important frontline positions - Everything is due yesterday and the myopic working style means systems are inadequate, overburdened and come with a high human cost

      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.
