Databricks is a Great Company to Work For

Senior resident solution architect
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- Good work life balance as long as you speak up about your needs. - Great executive leadership and decision making. - Work with cutting edge technology (AI/ML/DE) - Breadth of experience across many different industry domains - Meaningful long lasting relationships with Bricksters and Customers. - Autonomy to get your work done, and great culture. - Competitive compensation.

Cons

- Hiring process can sometimes be convoluted since different managers for the same role (e.g. RSA) have different expectations for what they are looking for. I think it would make more sense to standardize on roles and hiring criteria between Teams. -

Great culture, strong exec leaderships, and good market positioning

Sr. solutions architect
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- Very strong execs, though it’s still got a startup feel, the execs (many are still co founders which is amazing) already act like they are running a public company with the vision and discipline it needs to succeed long-term. Ali is just brilliant. - Culture is great as they take their cultural principles seriously, especially transparency and customer-first. I like that better than other start-ups I’ve worked at. - People are friendly and helpful. - Product positioning is great for this market and the needs from large enterprises

Cons

- Product complexity (long standing perception is still managed spark with notebooks which is no longer the focus). The company is laser focused on making the product simpler, so that will finally change that perception and make the product more appealing and accessible to business people - No 401k match (though other benefits are above industry standards like fitness perks and RSUs)
