      Pros

      Excellent company, great management, super transparent. Product is awesome and getting better by the second!!

      Cons

      None, seriously, none. I’ve been in many startups and this feels like a bigger company but you still have access to product managers and higher up. So no cons.

      Good Company, Bad Career Development for SDRs

      Sales development representative (sdr)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Every time anyone says something about databricks they start out by saying how awesome it is. Awesome product, awesome CEO, awesome space, awesome co-workers, awesome clients, delicious kool-aid. It is a fantastic company with a pretty solid future ahead of it, if lake house is what they think. This company has to avoid being the next Cloudera

      Cons

      SDR work is broken. Other parts of the sales team and company are really solid One month, someone blew the quota out of the water and everyone's job got way harder overnight. What the heck! Apparently, a huge part of a sales development leader’s task is continually justifying the general existence of the SDR team as a whole. Not such a bad thing to get caught up in if you're learning and getting promoted, but nobody is. Join this company as an SDR if you want to be a stowaway on the rocket ship. You constantly overhear your manager defending your value to the captain, but you don’t really believe what they’re saying.
