Pros

The culture and the people are my favorite thing about Databricks, you work in a high paced environment where there is constant change but having amazing people around you and a culture that embraces community makes Databricks unique. Flexibility at Databricks to run your own business as an AE is something that I love. I am a highly motivated seller than needs little guidance and to have a company support me in the way that works for me is fantastic. Databricks is on the cutting edge of technology, being able to learn about this product and segment while being at one of the market leaders is the space is refreshing. Comp allows upside that is tied to performance and the consumption based model levels provide a bit of stability and steadier cashflows compared to other commission based models that are purely based off selling.

Cons

High paced can mean long hours, demanding output in a deadline driven world. Having processes change frequently contributes more to additional work and hours that need to be put in.

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.
