Pros

Great people at all levels. Everyone I work with is incredibly smart and collaborative. Ali’s ability to communicate the deepest of technical concepts as well as a high level business roadmap is consistently amazing It’s so refreshing to be at a company that actually understands what it entails to be data driven. Most companies throw around terms like ML, AI, and big data with no real grasp on how to use the concepts. Databricks understands and often creates the playbook on these topics The work is interesting and I really couldn’t think of a better company to work at given the growing importance of data in tech and business Great cultural values that are actually adhered to. Transparency from the executive level best in class pay and benefits Really making an effort with diversity that shows both in terms of the employees and the resources for employees

Cons

Still developing processes as they transition out of being a startup Better 401k match would be nice, but pay and other benefits make up for it

Pros

- Kind, smart, driven, conscious, empathetic, intelligent, caring people - Awesome product, great engineering and product teams that actually do user research and develop based on user feedback - Really, really great People Ops team. TONS of resources for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+. Tons of internal events to keep people engaged, motivated, connected. - Lots of attention paid to individual growth by everyone from direct managers all the way to leadership team

Cons

- Growing really really really fast so keeping up to date on product features, updates, supported integrations is a tough task. Everyone has their own repository of content so a lot of repeated work being done in silos. - Product surface area is very large and growing every day. Makes it hard to get a good grasp on who the target persona are and delve deep into a specific functionality or domain. Have to be a jack of all trades and split attention between many different parts of the platform.
