Pros
- The entire organization is one big focussed organism, who has the right direction and knows exactly how to get there. - There is a lot of attention right from the top to keep things simple and efficient. - The entire company is kept updated regularly leaving no room for speculation so that everyone can focus on what needs to be done. - Management openly accepts its limitations and builds clear roadmaps to bridge the gaps. - I see that the company values everyone's time and there are no unnecessary meetings. Everyone works of an agenda and is respectful of each other's time. - To top it all, great co-workers who challenge you to better yourself everyday. - At this time, I would highly recommend Databricks to anyone keen on working with the best engineers in this space.
Cons
- There are times when things can get little overwhelming as everyone strives to keep up the energy and focus and sometimes can affect work-life balance. It is not something that is culturally inherent, but happens because it is so fast paced. The management has taken keep interest in sorting this out and has laid out clear steps to consciously ensure that there is a good balance.
