Pros

Great vision from the CEO with an open culture. Quite innovative and fast paced environment.

Cons

The culture in the support organization is very toxic and these are the reasons. 1/ It is a nickel and dime shop. What they care about daily is metrics and productivity. They don’t care about people or work life balance and completely lack vision and strategy in improving customer experience. Everything is reactive. This is a reflection of the senior leadership team and engineering (as support is part of engineering) 2/ They are way behind in creating tools and AI in support. They have no clear strategy because they chase their own tail in operations. 3/ Engineers stay only because of the options and good salary. It would be never be because of poeple at the leadership level who cook stories and want to always look good with HR on the sidelines doing nothing.

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.
