Pros

I have the opportunity to work with some very brilliant minds from a variety of high-profile backgrounds (FAANG, cutting-edge startups, etc.) both internally and at the customers I get to work with. The company culture is very fun and light-hearted, helping to keep morale high and deliver better results to our customers.

Cons

As is the case with any rapidly growing company, there are some areas where there have been frequent changes; depending on how rigid you like your roles and responsibilities, this could potentially be a con for some people.

Pros

Highly innovative and inclusive culture with brilliant, passionate people. High customer focus. High team focus - job titles don't get in the way of teams collaborating to drive outcomes.

Cons

Complex industry, takes time to ramp with long sales cycles.

Pros

The Databricks product, albeit very complex (even to onboard engineers) is one that top of class once learned. The improvements the company continues to make to compete against Snowflake and dominate the Lakehouse space combined with the new industry push into LLM AI learning integration makes this a wonderful company to learn and grow at.

Cons

The company is growing too fast while wanting to maintain it's "startup" identity and that is significantly diluting the culture and talent brought in.
