      Challenging but rewarding rocket ship

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Non-hyperbolically the best engineering in the industry, and getting better with new hires. * Very supportive and teamwork-oriented environment. Great place to jumpstart a career. * Compact engineering core keeps work environment tight knit. Still has some small-company vibes (bi-weekly boba, random "snack attacks") * Work is engaging and feels impactful, lots of room to leave your mark * Higher-ups very receptive to feedback and very transparent on "state of the union"-esque topics

      Cons

      * Office is terrible, although not an issue for COVID/remote work * HR seems to follow industry trends instead of leading, as a result some efforts seem flat/bare-minimum (ex: D&I, COVID response) * Company looks to solve D&I in some divisions (engineering), but does not seem like much headway has been made

      Great place to be if you're willing to work hard

      Enterprise account executive

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      True rocketship - The technology is incredible, growing at an incredible place, in a rare stratosphere of companies with immense potential Great C-Level management - Ali is a great CEO and the company is under tremendous guidance Generally supportive culture. A lot of good people across different teams, and I'm fortunate to have a good manager and good sales team alongside me Earnings potential is great, some of the most aggressive comp plans I've ever seen Exciting place to be - Feels like you're making a difference in the world, and customers are happy to hear from you Would absolutely recommend this job to a friend

      Cons

      Some overkill on internal sessions with middle management - Account reviews, deal reviews, territory plans, QBR's, several of these happening weekly. Doing this with more than just a direct manager adds a layer of stress and can get in the way of actual work. Environment can be unnecessarily political. Any sales job has an element of intensity and critical judgment, but there is more CYA, criticism, and walking on eggshells than is useful. While the technology is impressive and customers love it, it's a complex product set and sales motion that takes some time to get used to. Less of a con and more neutral, but Databricks is in a rapid growth stage, so be prepared for rapid and sometimes dramatic change in sales motions, priorities, and even pay.
