Pros

- Working with highly motivated and talented people - Great Compensation - A lot of agency to get the job done - Employee supports go above and beyond

Cons

- In a customer-facing role, sometimes customer values are misaligned to company values. This is true of all companies not just Databricks. - Fast growing company means fast changing company. Along with normal duties one is expected to "keep up with the Jonses" on relevant advances. Constant change can be a stressor. - DEI is lacking. They put in a good effort in this area, but maybe the fact that effort is required is problematic. It should not be difficult to be diverse, equitable nor inclusive.

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.
