Pros

Databricks has so much going for it! I'm a product manager and I smile every day I go to work. Where do I start? Rapidly-scaling company, great product, brilliant co-workers, and an executive team that really cares about culture. I'm learning how to be a better product manager every day. For the record, I have never worked anywhere where hiring the right people is more important (notice how I didn't say "the best" - Databricks has a strict "no brilliant jerks" policy).

Cons

We are growing so fast that office space (e.g. meeting rooms) is a bit tight.

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.
