      Pros

      The intellectual horse power here is through the roof. We have the smartest and brightest talent in the Valley building a best-of-breed platform that is solving complex big data problems. No one comes in with an ego, no matter how successful they are. People are collaborative and everyone is eager to figure things out. Everyone shares the same passion and excitement to make this an awesome company.

      Cons

      There is a lot of work to get done, which to me is the fun part!

      Nothing comes to mind. Normal start-up growing pains but that's what makes it fun.

      Ideal place to learn and grow

      Pros

      - Extremely talented, grounded, and motivated coworkers - Competent and open minded upper management - Business plan is ambitious and expansive I think Databricks is one of the best places to work as engineer. The engineers here are uniformly competent, hard working, and compassionate, and the cofounders who lead eng set a fantastic example. I'm happy to be a brickster!

      Cons

      - We're still a young company and going through some growing pains, so production fires are a bit more common than I'd like - It tends to be a hardworking bunch (by choice, not dictum), so not ideal if you're looking for a 9-5 gig - Making enterprise software can be a pain in the butt (hands-on treatment for large customers, having to be very careful about backwards compatibility)
