Pros

- Great opportunities - Great leadership - Little drama - Liquidity! (Soon, based on press reports) - Wildly successful

Cons

- You have to work hard to figure out your work life balance - It's a company that wants to be great -- that means that if you're looking for a startup job where you can go take on any problem across the company even if you're not remotely qualified, you won't likely find it here. - Some parts of the company have been under-invested in, and can be frustrating.

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.
