Pros

The company is run by, operated by, and mostly staffed by visionaries and doers. The CEO can even write code and is super comfortable showing executives how easy it is to use the product. Then openness/transparency within the organization is top notch - something I can only hope sticks around as we continue our growth. We've been able to keep the bar high and hire great people who turn out to be great team members, all resulting in a great and happy place to work.

Cons

With rapid growth comes growing pains - sometimes you have to ask around for an answer to something that's super new.

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.
