Pros

Great growth for mid-career, Databricks is growing fast so you'll have the chance to make a huge impact at mid-level Great comp package, total comp is competitive with FAANG with more upside Good work-life balance-- strong focus on delivery but leadership has high trust in the team when there are hiccups/challenges. Engineering-driven organization, so engineers drive roadmaps and determine timelines Deep technical challenges-- you're not just building another CRUD app with the same scaling strategies Investment in engineers' careers-- lots of engineers here have 4+ years at Databricks and staying beyond initial vesting

Cons

Decision-making and ownership could be clearer. With some cross-team projects, it's unclear who is accountable for driving the project and who has the final say D&I numbers are not great. While there is nothing negative if you are an underrepresented individual, there doesn't seem to be org-wide level efforts to drive representation or clear accountability tied to leadership to improve D&I.
