      Starting to feel like a "big" company - still a great place to work

      Pros

      Standards are still quite high - most colleagues are technically very skilled and collaborative. Company culture is great. Lots of opportunities to have a meaningful impact.

      Cons

      Maybe an inevitable consequence of growth, but it's starting to feel like a "big" company, with all the attendant issues that brings: bureaucracy, insular departments, politics. Company culture is suffering as a consequence. Recently the AI/ML platform has become scattered and incoherent, with a range of tools & systems that don't really work together the way they should. Focus on data warehousing has meant that AI/ML is getting less attention.

      Read the other reviews. Changing culture. Not what it used to be.

      Pros

      free lunches good benefits good product -albeit difficult to install.

      Cons

      Databricks was a great place to work the last 3+ years that has changed. Recently many from AWS have been brought into Databricks and changed the culture overnight. Databricks used to have a "no jerks" policy that has changed. Very few sales reps are making their sales number and the very little equity is being given out and a lot of turnover. Small and a lof of sales reps. Lots of micromanagement, it seems the new AWS middle management just refreshes Salesforce dashboards all day. Very little value brought in by the mid level managers from AWS. Databricks used to always have a "customer first" attitude. That has totally changed. Lots of turn over since a lot of reps are not making their quota. The consumption quotas are very high.

      Pros

      Great company. Incredible Innovation. Massive opportunity for growth.

      Cons

      Need to provide more autonomy to leaders to make decisions for running their business that isn't based on uniformity of business.
