Pros

Great software, customers love it - genuinely world class. Pay is pretty competitive for my area, lot of talented, like minded people - given the license to manage WLB but constant pressure to keep things growing requires a lot of resolve

Cons

classic challenges of growing the right stuff whilst trying to sustain the existing business: year on year requires more from the technical field sellers (culture of and) often having to cover for missing roles - internal/non-existing tooling compensated for with additional manual processes. Everyone is trying to scale through everyone else. Multiple mixed priorities means everything is urgent and important resulting in constant pressure to be reactive. Doesn't look like this is going to change any time soon.

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.
