Pros

Get to know and work on the latest Databricks features. Interaction with people from different geographies. If you are coming from a WITCH service company, then PS will feel like a much better place.

Cons

PS leadership, along with the recruitment team, they skimp on hires or bait-and-switch them. If you are coming from MNC Product, GCC. You will find in PS things vague and confusing. GDC Leadership that is bureaucratic, not forward-thinking, only asks for status rather than trying to get a handle on things. GDC often feels like a cult, the leader at the top TD makes everyone feel so. The PS GDC lacks image as a high-quality, high-value team
