Pros

Some of the smartest people I have ever worked with, yet with little to none of the ego that often goes with it. We work hard, solve complex problems, and focus on our customers! Getting to work with our customers on some of their bleeding edge Big Data and Data Sciences problems while also forging ahead with Apache Spark is what makes this job so exhilarating.

Cons

We all work really hard and have an amazingly high bar for excellence. Personally I see this as a pro!

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.
