Pros

Technical Innovation at the heart of the company; Technology really works; Continuous focus on generating value by improving product offerings; Good understanding of business and technology with a mature balancing of the two. Great people to work with.

Cons

Growing pains on sales side with processes. Too many layers of management. Sales Management is not strong - yes, the technology can be complex, but a rising tide can allow weak members to look like stars and get promotions.

Pros

-Executive team is unbelievably engaged and tuned into the industry -I've worked for competitors & there is a clear difference you get to enjoy at Databricks with an engineering-first culture. Whenever you get to the right level of conversations the credibility we can build just based on our tech build so much confidence.

Cons

-Comp plans have been confusing at times, there has been a focus on new logos yet no real comp incentives around it
