Pros

-Some of the most talented and collaborative people I've ever met -Led by a really great exec team, that stay true to the community that made the product successful - maintaining our commitment to the open-source community with every product we release -An amazing product that only gets better with time. When we work with companies that believe in the product, the benefits are unimaginable. -Starting as an SDR, there is a clear understanding that the company will help you on your career path beyond that role. -Some amazing perks that I still can't believe exist.

Cons

-Not enough women/diversity in leadership. I see this changing over the course of the next year, and the Diversity & Inclusion team is currently doing a really great job. -Sometimes not enough transparency. Definitely better than bigger tech companies, but sometimes we're expected to accept changes without enough clarification.

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.
