      Pros

      Late stage startup with lots of potential! Databricks is the only company that fills the void of enabling companies to turn data into quantifiable business value. The culture is great and there's a lot of employee efficacy. Perks are fantastic and it's great knowing you are working on fascinating use cases across multiple verticals.

      Cons

      As the case of most startups in a highly technical space, it's a pretty steep learning curve. Onboarding is never easy especially given the velocity at which the business is growing and need for new hires to start working with customers immediately.

      Pros

      Databricks may have the greatest combination of technical talent ever assembled. The company's goals and collaborative culture trickle down to all employees like its law. Performance reviews are every 6 months(biannually) so you can grow and be rewarded quickly within the company. If you like to travel there will be opportunities to do so. It's also unbelievable how the company is able to keep the hiring talent bar high while growing at such a fast rate. Our list of clients is as extensive as it is impressive no matter the industry. All businesses are trying to understand their data to make better decisions. Databricks is the leader in making this possible.

      Cons

      - Typical startup growing pains due to rapid growth - Constant internal change to the organization, strategy and messaging can lead to confusion -Work/Life balance can be a challenge depending on client deadlines -Self Paced Training needs improvement -No single source of truth to learn material for spark certification(s)
