Pros

Databricks may have the greatest combination of technical talent ever assembled. The company's goals and collaborative culture trickle down to all employees like its law. Performance reviews are every 6 months(biannually) so you can grow and be rewarded quickly within the company. If you like to travel there will be opportunities to do so. It's also unbelievable how the company is able to keep the hiring talent bar high while growing at such a fast rate. Our list of clients is as extensive as it is impressive no matter the industry. All businesses are trying to understand their data to make better decisions. Databricks is the leader in making this possible.

Cons

- Typical startup growing pains due to rapid growth - Constant internal change to the organization, strategy and messaging can lead to confusion -Work/Life balance can be a challenge depending on client deadlines -Self Paced Training needs improvement -No single source of truth to learn material for spark certification(s)

Pros

It's truly rare to find an amazing product/solution that customers love, and to find a super positive, fun culture. This has both! The leadership team is made up of people that actually care about their teams, care about the customers succeeding, and are trying to do the right thing. Culture is a something that is focused on consistently.

Cons

Hyper-growth is not for everyone. This is one of the fastest growing software companies ever, so the pace is super fast and change is a constant. Some people love that pace, but some don't. If you do not want to stretch yourself, look for a slower pace environment.
