Pros

Databricks has amazing leadership where I feel the CEO tells us how it is. No sugarcoating. We are positioned wonderfully in the market so the fear recruiters generally feel when reading about lay-offs elsewhere is not necessary. I am very happy about my base pay, I'm not micromanaged, and everyone we work with is super intelligent. I am really happy to work here!

Cons

Databricks is established but young - they seem to be open to making changes re: parental leave and other benefits BUT there is work to be done with hiring. Once brought up to leadership though, things tend to change which is great.

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.
