Pros

Amazing leadership and vision for the company. The focus on being a cloud native platform was the perfect decision from the beginning. Great sales leadership team to help pre-sales engineers understand the art of the sale. Lots of growth opportunities within the company for ICs. Best pre-sales team I've ever worked with (SAs and AEs).

Cons

Common growing pains when scaling from an early startup to a large startup, e.g. compensation reviews and learning about internal career opportunities. However, these have improved significantly since we've hired our CPO.

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.
