Databricks reviews

The culture has taken a bad turn or two. There’s a lot of XFN infighting and backstabbing. Leadership outs people for confidentially reporting something. Lots of things get stonewalled instead of saying yes or no. It’s odd that with so many great people the culture can be this toxic, but it’s seriously the worst I’ve seen (and I’ve been in this industry for 25 years). As a SWE up to L6 you can probably avoid most of this, but the higher levels are like a kindergarten. Also, the company ignores WLB, perks, training, team building and basically all other factors that drive retention. The only things that are supposed to motivate you are (1) interesting work and (2) compensation, which is competitive. But there’s no investment in cohesion, growing people over time or improving the culture.

I've never made less $ as a sales rep in over 10yrs even though I grew my customer over 100% YoY growth. DO NOT GO TO WORK FOR A BUNCH OF TECHNOLOGIST. THEY DON'T VALUE SALES PEOPLE AND DON'T WANT TO PAY THEM WELL !!! CEO is greedy!
