Pros

* Bunch of really smart, motivated, well-intentioned people * Strong cultural alignment * Massive vision and potential * I don’t know anyone who doesn’t care, who doesn’t work hard, or who is ridiculous. This is a first for me.

Cons

* Inevitable growing pains — building process has been slow in some areas where the company has not invested heavily. * Can be hard to keep pace. I feel empowered to maintain my work life balance but it’s very easy to let it go out the window because I feel like I need to keep up with everything everywhere.

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.
