Pros

It is amazing to learn about AI and up-to-date technologies.

Cons

It was great when I started at the company; after some time, they began removing tools that facilitated my work. For example, the tools used to get logs (90% of my job is debugging logs and finding issues) and the metrics used are just absurd (1-day resolution). Any person that had worked on support knows this KPI sucks. Besides this, the salaries in Costa Rica are not good; I have teammates with below 1800 dollars per month. In addition, the staff and "leads" are not helpful when we ask for help; the good thing is that we collaborate a lot in the CR office. In addition, in support, we do not have a limit on what is out of scope, so we see problems from AWS to customer codes.

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.
