Pros

I've been with Databricks for over a year and I feel strongly that they are living up to the hype! I've been impressed with the leadership and their approach on how to grow the company in somewhat uncertain times. The products is excellent and only getting better. And almost all the employees that I have worked with are highly skilled and good people at their core.

Cons

Some minor issues around the consumption based variable compensation for quota carrying employees, but overall the compensation package is strong given the the current market and the pre-IPO status of Databricks.

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.
