Pros

1, Highly motivated people with a lot of experience. 2, Not your typical start-up (it's huge). 3. Very friendly and helpful colleagues. 4. Highly technology-driven rather than competitor driven. 5. Huge community due to open source. 6. Accessible C-level executives addressing workforce every week. 7. Huge people diversity

Cons

1. Work motivation means that I am working long hours. The company dictates that we have a proper work-life balance though. 2. Offices closed due to pandemic. I'm starting to prefer to going into the office.

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.
