Pros

The current level of talent and employee attitude here is excellent. Bricksters are generally well intentioned, collaborative, very smart, and very hard working. There is a shared and embraces sense of company-first mission. Things get done here very rapidly. A real 'GSD' (Getting Stuff Done) culture. I think that Databricks has a bright future, and your compensation normally includes the RSUs (company stock), which, hopefully will pay off when the company goes IPO.

Cons

Having such a fast paced, high bar, rapid delivery culture comes with expected downsides: - Employee burnout is real, though it is often self-driven - Bias for action sometimes backfires and work has to be redone / backtracked - Like in any fast growing company, technical debt is real and not always addressed in a timely manner From the compensation perspective, the stock awards (RSUs) are not liquid since the company is still private.
