Pros

Great place to work for. Lots of smart people to learn from. Huge potential ahead.

Cons

100% busy, lots of customers interested but the team does not scale fast enough. Sense of unfairness is huge in this place, Field engineering RSU is almost 50% those of Software engineering, unlike any other place, that makes me think if I made the right decision to join this team.

Pros

Coming from AWS where the pace of change creates a rewarding and challenging environment but what you see on the outside in their culture is not reflected internally. Databricks by keeping their culture and leadership principles true to form both internally and externally creates an environment that, in my opinion, is the best of both worlds. They foster an incredible culture in a very high paced relevant technology space with a high bar for talent. This comes together in an accountable yet collaborative selling environment where everyone is willing to help and who truly believe that we are all making the world better together.

Cons

If you consider it a con this is a fast past rapidly growing organization that requires it's employees to adapt quickly and pivot strategy base on a rapidly evolving marketplace. Some may not be up to this type of challenge.
