Pros

Great Product for ETL, Good brand awareness

Cons

Most middle management / sales directors do not understand product, have no interest in meeting clients, and simply repeat the GRIT Mantra. Often find yourself needing to do internal busy work over external client meetings. Have hired to many sales people - fight for accounts won by those who have been at DB longest. BOYS CLUB

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.
