Pros

Databricks has so much going for it! I'm a product manager and I smile every day I go to work. Where do I start? Rapidly-scaling company, great product, brilliant co-workers, and an executive team that really cares about culture. I'm learning how to be a better product manager every day. For the record, I have never worked anywhere where hiring the right people is more important (notice how I didn't say "the best" - Databricks has a strict "no brilliant jerks" policy).

Cons

We are growing so fast that office space (e.g. meeting rooms) is a bit tight.

Pros

A fantastic product (betting on the future) + great team (Founder led innovation culture + A16Z leadership + industry all star hires)

Cons

Pace of growth requires patience and teamwork to reset and lift new hires up. It's a teamwork first culture (a cultural plus) but people who need to execute in solitude will struggle to adapt

Pros

Incredibly smart colleagues, who work hard to keep improving. The "terrifying Databricks brain trust" is real - but human and humble. The products really work. We get love letters from customers about how their Databricks projects have been transformational, allowing them to solve problems that were previously impossible. (And often, we're much faster and cheaper too). I'm proud to be part of the team that's creating so much value for customers.

Cons

We've grown so fast! Some of our internal systems (like for IT and People) are fitting for a much smaller company, so some work is more manual than it should be. Management knows this and is racing to build the infra we need.
