Pros

1. The working culture here is amazing such that it makes the employees think that it is they are contribution much towards their own company. 2. You are surrounded with Tech geniuses. The hiring bar for Databricks is high and all you are surrounded with is people with strong technical skills who are always ready to help you. 3. The company has got many benefits for the employees, both tangible and intangible ones. 4. The company has a rocket speed growth. I can foresee a great future ahead. 5. If you want to be in a place where the work is so dynamic and things move around in a way faster pace, this is going to be it. So many people from the tech giants have joined here because of the way life and the product we are developing is. 6. The compensation is awesome, and any employee upon joining will be awarded with Company's restricted stocks which is of a great value. One Liner - "Databricks just rocks and I am very happy to be working here which feels like I am working on my own product". Wish all the success to it.

Cons

I do not have as many cons, but I can list down a very few which I personally but it is not always persistent. 1. Your work-life balance takes a toll. But this does not happen always, just a few times when and ever really needed. 2. If you are someone who would want to relax at work and spend your day at work with minimum efforts, this is not at all it. 3. You might see some changes with org as you work. But this is just for the fact that the company is growing and the changes tend to happen.

Pros

There is a lot of focus around progressing the individual and supporting you in the next phase of your career. The Mentorship program gives you the opportunity to not only be mentored and supported but a chance for you to work on your coaching and leadership skills in supporting your peers. The culture here is also unmatched to anywhere else I've worked, there is an openness and

Cons

Not really a con, but a matter of preference for you depending on the work environment you're looking for. This is a fast-paced, ambitious and growing business, not for someone looking for slow and steady. If you want to be challenged and learn more in a few months than you'll pick up in your career, this is a great place to work.
