Pros

We have a lot of fun on the company dime

Cons

I've never made less $ as a sales rep in over 10yrs even though I grew my customer over 100% YoY growth. DO NOT GO TO WORK FOR A BUNCH OF TECHNOLOGIST. THEY DON'T VALUE SALES PEOPLE AND DON'T WANT TO PAY THEM WELL !!! CEO is greedy!

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.
