Pros

Databricks has the clearest vision, best leadership, highest level of talent and most hard working/inclusive culture of any company I've ever seen. Everyone leans in to ensure the organisation delivers on its goals, and the culture is one where you can get help whenever you ask for it, whilst always having loads of fun. It's a fast paced environment, which means you're constantly learning new things and every day brings new and exciting opportunities. The culture is based on humility, honesty and hard work, and the camaraderie and team ethos in the sales team is the best you're likely to find at any fast paced technology company. All in all, working at Databricks is quite simply an opportunity you don't want to miss.

Cons

There are none that I can think of. I enjoy working somewhere fast paced, where there are loads of opportunities and everyone works hard as part of a team, which is exactly what Databricks is.

Pros

- If you are motivated by making an impact, this is truly your best playground. I'm surrounded by smart people who aim to have a holistic view on the problems we're solving, no matter which department you're in. - Lots of untapped potentials in many of the departments. Since we are aiming to build a great company, with our exponential growth in the last few years and the current stage of our growth, there are a lot of rooms for us to transform the org into a well-oiled machine. By the time we reach the "well-oiled machine stage," we'll most likely outgrow that and pursue the next growth stage. This has been the funnest and most rewarding company I've ever worked at.

Cons

In the scale of work/life balance, many of us probably tip heavier on the work side than balance. But then again, most people aren't joining a startup company for work/life balance.
