Pros

Databricks is a great place to work. The product is amazing and the TAM is as big as any software company out there. I get the sense that Databricks really cares about employees in terms of well-being, career progression, and recognizing talent. There is a strong feeling amongst employees that Databricks is one-team, working towards a common goal. And that's the kind of place you want to be at.

Cons

Super fast growing so you need to work hard to keep up

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.
