Pros

I've been here four years and these have been both the most challenging and most rewarding years of my career. There is always an opportunity to learn something new here which I value more than anything else in a job. Databricks invests in its people and has helped me grow in my professional goals so far. I feel like I have a long future here as there's still so much we as a company and I personally can accomplish. The company has great leadership and clarity of vision. The products themselves are truly best in class and the product velocity is impressive especially given our scale. Maybe most importantly, the people are great to work with-- there are a ton of smart and accomplished people here to learn from and there is a great culture of teamwork, humility and support.

Cons

Company has grown so fast it has outpaced some of its systems and processes. More can be done to centralize/index information to make it easier to find answers to your questions as they come up. And not necessarily a bad thing per se, but expectations are very high and the work is challenging so the level of effort required is high.

Pros

Culture is truly #1. A lot of companies say they have a “great culture” but Databricks surpasses that billing. Work with the smartest, kindest people in the industry. Across the board in every role you will work with the best people. Phenomenal technolgy embraced by all of our customers. Excellent leadership. I’ve been in software for 20+ years and this team is smart with an uncanny way of always making the best decisions about the future.

Cons

The only growing pain is the rapid growth in employees. Almost half the company is less than a year seniority so lots of change. This can be a positive too, but is about all I have for negative.
