Pros

Good CEO and company mission. Good compensation and lots of smart people makes it a fun environment.

Cons

Some surprisingly poor management really lets the company down. Most managers are great, but a few just waiting for IPO and contribute nothing to the company.

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.
