Pros

Working at Databricks can be some of the most rewarding work of your career. With the ability to really make a difference to the success of the company and also to helping customers change the world. The people are good people with a true focus on doing what's right by each other and the customer.

Cons

It's really hard work and it can be frustrating as we find our way. If you're not driven to figure things out for yourself and readily pivot to a new way of thinking regularly, then you would find working here a challenge.

Pros

- great people - amazing product that sells itself once people get their hands on it - innovative company - decent ote and benefits

Cons

- comp plan this year for hunters is not aligned with company strategy of focusing on larger, multi-year commits. it incentivizes quantity of deals vs. quality of deals, and payouts on commit $$$ are peanuts.
