Pros

Most healthy work environment I've ever been in. The work is interesting to me, the leadership is approachable and receptive to feedback, and the company trajectory is great. There's a reason very few people leave.

Cons

Doesn't have the name-brand recognition outside of the big data space.

Pros

Databricks has a world class engineering team and strong eng/product focus amongst the founding and executive teams. Fast revenue growth and a chance to work on a widely adopted technology impacting the analytics space. Culture of humility, hustle, and customer obsession. All the founders are still deeply involved in the company and help maintain the culture.

Cons

Growing pains consistent with any startup growing at this pace. Most pains are addressed with time, but it can take time.
