Pros

Heaps of learning. Loads of managers types Sales focused company

Cons

Not matured into service sector. Its a product company with strong US based engineering focus however their service division is handled by sales team. This creates conflict of interest when servicing customers. Service decisions and handling is done by AE. AE has no background of you as PS team member and more inclined to presales team. Presales team will put all their work to post sales. Ultimately if u r part of service team u ll end up doing job of everyone but even then ur name wont be counted since company is sales focussed and not service focussed. Join if u r part of presales else AVOID

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.
