Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry that you feel this way. One of our recruiting philosophies is to do our due diligence with anyone we hire. We evaluate each candidate thoroughly. Each candidate meets 4 or more Brick-sters and we require references from every candidate we extend an offer to. Being the start-up that we are, we understand our process is not bullet proof and we can get better. Unfortunately, we're going to have some misses as we develop and grow as a company. We will learn from our mistakes and do our best to not duplicate them.

Pros

The intellectual horse power here is through the roof. We have the smartest and brightest talent in the Valley building a best-of-breed platform that is solving complex big data problems. No one comes in with an ego, no matter how successful they are. People are collaborative and everyone is eager to figure things out. Everyone shares the same passion and excitement to make this an awesome company.

Cons

There is a lot of work to get done, which to me is the fun part!

Pros

- Filled with dense knowledge about each facet of growing a company (marketing, sales, engineering, open source, management) - Always looking to improve and is never satisfied with just being "good" (employees here have a "make-it-the-best" mentality) - The management really cares about each employee and how he or she is doing at all times. - Expertise and devotion to Spark alongside Spark's growing adoption really makes it an exciting time to be here. - Everyone at Databricks is teamwork-minded so there is a strong culture of helping each other out. - The company itself is growing fast but at the same time, it never lowers its bar in hiring so you can expect every single person to excel in their work.

Cons

- A lot of processes (engineering, hiring, etc.) are still developing. - Many things still go wrong (i.e. fires), but the team really takes its time to learn from each one of these to make sure that similar occurrences do not happen. - It may not be a typical 9 to 5 job (a con for people who prefers 9 to 5).
