Pros

Founder led startup, with innovative engineering culture and excellent product market fit. The pay is great, the people are wonderful, they value diversity, and everyone lives the culture principles.

Cons

Databricks is still a startup, and you need to be able to hustle and have grit. This is not your legacy tech company.

Pros

- Great benefits - Energetic culture - Prudent leadership - Positive work environment - Remote-friendly I've been with Databricks for 1 year at the time of this writing. I have found that the overall culture here is one of enthusiasm and excitement about the product and the industry. People here really believe in the power of what we offer, which is great. The benefits are quite competitive in my opinion, and management does a great job of showing appreciation for solid performance. Our CEO still welcomes every new employee by name at our weekly All-hands, and the culture is very energetic. The academic roots that our founders bring to the business are evident—it doesn't feel like just another business started by business people. They really care about the product.

Cons

We work hard and stay busy, which itself is not necessarily a con—but if you aren't able to set boundaries and defend your time, you may find yourself working a bit longer into the day than you might like. However, in my experience management has been acutely aware of the potential for burnout and has been proactive in their efforts to mitigate it and recognize good work.
