Pros

Amazing brand; Every customer wants to learn about Lakehouse architecture & Databricks. Strong exec team: CEO and most founders come from academia and actually care about the company being successful long term. Strong exposure to cutting edge AI use cases. Depending on how long you stay, you could position yourself as an AI expect after working at a place like Databricks.

Cons

Management becoming obsessed with forecasting and starting to micro manage sales people as we get bigger.

Pros

I can develop myself in the AI environment with my experience from consulting and from the automotive group. In my role, I can focus on my customers. In parallel, I work on being close enough to the software and the possibilities and am supported by Databricks in my own upskilling. Databricks gives me the freedom and opportunities to do a great job here. At the same time, I have great colleagues around me from whom I can learn a lot. The salary is also great with all the extras.

Cons

After more than a year with Databricks, I have no comments to make about the Cons. It is up to myself, if I am dissatisfied with something, to solve the issue. And that is definitely possible here and my colleagues and managers support me.

Pros

Databricks is on the cutting edge of technology. The product is complex and there are lots of opportunities for growth. The culture is collaborative and I've been impressed with managers who want to understand and support my career goals. Leadership is very transparent. This is a high growth company - things change fast and there are growing pains as teams keep up - this is expected and hasn't been a negative for me. If you can adapt to change and are willing to adopt to fill in gaps where needed it's a great place to be.

Cons
