Pros

Great people, everyone is very friendly and wants to help you grow. The company and internal docs are very organized and easily searchable. Has the fun start up feel (transparency, autonomy, rapid innovation) with some good structure and maturity of a larger enterprise. I’m fairly new as I joined this year, but so far so good!

Cons

The training is deep, can feel endless when you onboard but it’s a necessary evil to get familiar with the product

Pros

-Cool product -High achieving colleagues/peers -Company has a bright future -Slightly above market to above market pay, depending on the team -Very high level of internal transparency -Good office perks like free lunch -Most employees are offered Equity -Some teams are great

Cons

-Terrible WLB. Databricks is completely unafraid to work their employees on all teams into the ground. All parts of the organization report horrible WLB in company-wide surveys. -“New managers” who can’t manage -Significant office politics on some teams -Gossip. Not all employees safeguard job-specific information from individuals on other teams. -Equity. Be extremely careful to understand what you’re actually getting and when at the time of negotiating your Databricks offer. You may be getting far less value than you thought you were. -Lack of diversity in many parts of the company -No 401(k) match
