Pros

Founder-led, humble-smart leaders. Shared vision, defining the "Lakehouse" category. Autonomy.

Cons

Late-stage start-up experiencing multiple years of hyper-growth; so they are still working on how to on-board new people to make them find successes earlier in their journey.

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.
