Pros

- Having the founders still leading the company is fantastic. The strategy makes sense to me, and I know how I can contribute to it on a daily basis. The weekly all-hands are more entertaining than most (if not all) recent Netflix series. - Things are moving quickly, keeping you on your toes and constantly learning. - Colleagues are pretty smart and have an impressive range of experiences. - There is genuine appreciation for and celebration of achievements.

Cons

- Workload is manageable overall, but fluctuates with customer demand.

Pros

Great teams made up of smart, motivated people. Databricks is an exciting place to work because it is part of the growing data and AI tools space. The benefits and income are also good overall.

Cons

Databricks no longer feels like a startup. There are now multiple layers of bureaucracy, and leadership can feel territorial rather than collaborative. Over time, it can seem like business growth and internal politics have become stronger drivers than innovation or employee experience. For long-tenured employees, it may become harder to stay excited or feel challenged. Other companies may offer a more energizing environment.
