Pros

The culture is great and healthy. People are very approachable, friendly, and helpful. Ali is very transparent and honest. They have many great ERGs and they also do salary equity in accordance with the Fair Pay Workplace.

Cons

Wish there was more diversity in hiring. Health benefits aren’t the best. No 401k matching but hopefully they’ll consider it when we go public.

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.
