Pros

- We're building the iconic company in one of tech's largest and fastest-growing markets. - Our customers are doing very cool and impactful things with Databricks that will change the world. Inspiring to be a part of. - Academic culture. Smartest people I've ever worked with. Collaborative, open, feedback is always encouraged. - Product / engineering-led company + open source focus = unmatched pace of innovation. - Low on the typical politics you see at other tech companies. - If you care about money, you will make a lot of it here. Still very early days.

Cons

- Big opportunity calls for high expectations which can be interpreted as poor work/life balance. - The pace is frenetic and not for everyone. You have to be ok with iteration and constant change. No time for perfectionism. - If you're not in product/engineering and/or you don't have a computer science degree, you don't matter as much. - We're working on it but diversity - especially at the VP+ level - is a problem.
