      Great place for talented and hard-working people

      Pros

      The vision and openness is superb. The company is well-positioned to lead the world into a new era of data and AI enabled products and services all around us. The people here are the most talented in the world, but at the same time ready and willing to help and engage. They work hard to take care of employees and build a solid cultural foundation.

      Cons

      Notes for prospective applicants: If you want to come here, you better be ready to work hard and contribute the best work of your career. You need to be ready to have your proposals questioned and not simply taken at face value or based on some authority. Be ready to need your team and devote effort to functioning well as part of a larger whole. If any of these are cons for you, then Databricks would not be a good fit for you.

      Once in a lifetime growth opportunity

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Huge TAM, state of the art product. The company's growth will continue in the long run. This makes the stock comp very attractive - Company is well run with outstanding leadership. The fact that we raised capital right before the tech winter in 2022 allowed us to continue invest aggressively (one of the few tech companies rn without layoff risks!!) - Fast-paced environment, lots of work and scaling taking place ahead of looming IPO - Pay raise happens often if you do a good job. It is decoupled from title promotion, which is great (too often title promotions create top-heavy company hierarchies, which is not the case at DB)

      Cons

      - Company internal systems need improvement to handle the continuously ramping volume and shortened time to close books ahead of the IPO

      Startup with money

      Principle software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Surprisingly high quality engineers, at all levels, starting from college 2. Founders involved in everything, giving it a startup feel 3. Founders get along, and so do other old-timers, creating a collaborative yet intense culture. 4. Management is business-minded, high confidence of a successful IPO and future growth

      Cons

      1. Dev infra is hodge-podge 2. Some decisions take longer due to consensus building.
