Pros

You work with world class people You have endless opportunities to utilize your strengths You learn extremely fast and have a high degree of visibility and accountability Competitive pay with big tech The culture is positively competitive. Everyone competes but builds each other up while doing it. This is hard to create in a company.

Cons

It’s growing really fast, so you need to be the one to define the vision and direction for your career. In sales, the teams can feel disorganized. Training is there, but maybe not completely relevant. The onboarding could be more connected to the day to day work.

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.
