Pros

Databricks has an amazing product and everybody wants it.

Cons

but because the growth targets are so high no one can hit their number and overachieve on quota unless they get a giant whale of a deal. Also, their forecast methodology is absolutely terrible and drives sales reps insane.

Pros

- great people - amazing product that sells itself once people get their hands on it - innovative company - decent ote and benefits

Cons

- comp plan this year for hunters is not aligned with company strategy of focusing on larger, multi-year commits. it incentivizes quantity of deals vs. quality of deals, and payouts on commit $$$ are peanuts.
