Pros

* Smart and dedicated team with great mix of academia/research and industry experience * Taking the best of research and converting it to industrial strength, secure, scalable product * Great dynamic start-up environment with wonderful perks/benefits in beautiful setting in downtown San Francisco (catered lunches, pool table, table tennis, free snacks, frequent presentations, team outings...) * Learn all about one of the hottest big data frameworks (Apache Spark) and the cloud-hosted managed Databricks Spark environment. Technologies: Apache Spark, AWS (e.g. S3, Redshift), big data processing/storage, machine learning, graph processing, streaming. Access to Databricks demo environment and AWS dev tier. * Solid product in high demand backed by well-known venture capitalists in tremendous growth mode but still good work-life balance. * Access to some great open source committers and thought leaders like Matei Zaharia, Michael Armbrust, Tathagata “TD” Das and Reynold Xin.

Cons

* If working remotely from East Coast: 3 hour time difference and long cross-country flight with less access to the company HQ culture in SF. I am leaving to join a great local software development firm with short commute and just being part of a wonderful team. If I lived or could relocate to SF, Databricks would be one of my top choices of employers and I can only recommend it.
