Pros

It’s been the best decision of my career to join Databricks. Everyone’s smart and humble, no egos, just amazing teamwork. The product is the best on the market and we keep innovating at breakneck speed. The company is successful as a business and provides a level of transparency that is unheard of at this scale. Great compensation and perks. Amazing company culture that everybody exudes.

Cons

I can’t think of any.

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.
