Pros

- Working with highly motivated and talented people - Great Compensation - A lot of agency to get the job done - Employee supports go above and beyond

Cons

- In a customer-facing role, sometimes customer values are misaligned to company values. This is true of all companies not just Databricks. - Fast growing company means fast changing company. Along with normal duties one is expected to "keep up with the Jonses" on relevant advances. Constant change can be a stressor. - DEI is lacking. They put in a good effort in this area, but maybe the fact that effort is required is problematic. It should not be difficult to be diverse, equitable nor inclusive.
