Pros

The engineering team is a bunch of very smart people who have zero ego. I enjoy every collaboration I have with my colleagues and am constantly challenging myself and learning. It's a very supportive environment, even for women engineers like myself. It's exciting to work on projects that make it quickly into the product.

Cons

Things can get a little hectic because of the fast pace and constant need for more engineers.

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.
