Business Outlook

Pros

Their product portfolio is respectable and keeps growing. The company has plenty of money to keep the engineering teams as busy as possible. The overall business strategy is sound and Databricks now enjoys a solid presence in the cloud analytics space.

Cons

They claim they're still a startup and talk about values during the kickoff events, but the reality on the ground is that they now have all the toxicity of a large, cut-throat corporation. Sucking up to managers and adhering to their politics can be the only way to get promoted and recognized. Once a company gets off-track on meritocracy, it's hard to feel motivated to stay. Better move on. Constant management shuffling and reshuffling brings in new people with zero history and sometimes zero interest in understanding what happened before them, so they try to reinvent the wheel and force their ideas down other people's throats.
