Pros

Good health insurance, boot camp is helpful, colleagues want to help you get better, not competing against peers- set goals individually. Good stock if you stay until the shares vest. Best product to sell in the data AI space

Cons

No 401k/ retirement, constantly changing priorities, hard path to promotion with so many other BDRs competition for limited roles, constant quota change

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.
