Pros
- Filled with dense knowledge about each facet of growing a company (marketing, sales, engineering, open source, management) - Always looking to improve and is never satisfied with just being "good" (employees here have a "make-it-the-best" mentality) - The management really cares about each employee and how he or she is doing at all times. - Expertise and devotion to Spark alongside Spark's growing adoption really makes it an exciting time to be here. - Everyone at Databricks is teamwork-minded so there is a strong culture of helping each other out. - The company itself is growing fast but at the same time, it never lowers its bar in hiring so you can expect every single person to excel in their work.
Cons
- A lot of processes (engineering, hiring, etc.) are still developing. - Many things still go wrong (i.e. fires), but the team really takes its time to learn from each one of these to make sure that similar occurrences do not happen. - It may not be a typical 9 to 5 job (a con for people who prefers 9 to 5).
