Pros

Great culture; fast growing company; cutting edge technologies; great place in market; the company double revenue twice in last 2 years, and is set to do the same this year; unique engineering talent - this team can do anything; whole global organization gets together once a year in California;

Cons

not yet profitable - all revenue is reinvested into growth; staff is set to almost double this year as well - so anything can change quickly - this is a good and in a way bad as organization structure continues to adjust

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.
