Great place to work

Named account executive

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Databricks hires the best in the industry. You get to work with exceptionally talented and friendly people. Product is top notch and product teams are delivering at a level I've not seen it other tech companies. Leadership is transparent and CEO is exceptionally open and honest. Culture still has a start-up style atmosphere and massive growth means people can progress their careers more easily.

Cons

Work-life balance is sometimes tricky, but they are pretty open about it during recruitment. It's not a 9 to 5 job, but no one is pushing you to work ridiculous hours either. Change is rapid and processes are still forming and might change. If you like a stable working environment, Databricks is not it.
