Pros

I have been with Databricks 4+ years and have seen a lot of changes over those years, and all of the changes have been for the better. This company is truly something special. I commute very far to work (3+hrs a day) and I still wake up excited to come into work and do my job, and it really has to do with the people. Working with like-minded folks, all driven for the same cause and willing to help and support each other is truly refreshing. This is a company that keeps the bar high, is building the right brand, and constantly aware of building its culture. I cant wait to see where we go in the next 4 years.

Cons

My commute, but I get to work from home 1 day a week.

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.
