Pros

Databricks is the founder of Apache Spark and has some of the best engineers on the planet working on the systems. It has recently acquired MosaicML which will result in the build of a massive Data+AI platform. All other companies are currently playing catch up. A lot to learn, a lot to sell, a lot to gain. Some of the best offers in the market financially.

Cons

You will have to become an expert on the platform very quickly. Highly academic - you will have to keep up with extremely quick changes in the industry. You have to be willing to grow and help the company grow. Competition includes companies and products like Microsoft Fabric, GCP Big Query, AWS SageMaker, etc.

Pros

Great teams made up of smart, motivated people. Databricks is an exciting place to work because it is part of the growing data and AI tools space. The benefits and income are also good overall.

Cons

Databricks no longer feels like a startup. There are now multiple layers of bureaucracy, and leadership can feel territorial rather than collaborative. Over time, it can seem like business growth and internal politics have become stronger drivers than innovation or employee experience. For long-tenured employees, it may become harder to stay excited or feel challenged. Other companies may offer a more energizing environment.
