Pros

Incredible company building amazing products and taking the market by storm. Truly feels like a rocketship. Certainly a demanding role but you don't get to have a cushy coasting job while being on board such a growth engine.

Cons

Only concern is how much things change as we grow, like culture and processes. Have worked in mega-tech and things get really slow at that threshold, hope we can fend that off for as long as possible

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.
