Pros

• Really passionate and collaborative team, healthy conflict and risk taking is encouraged • Leadership is transparent and open • The work is interesting and there is the opportunity to do different things depending on career aspirations and development areas • I have a great manager who is very supportive and whom I can be open and honest with • Compensation is fair (caveat, I did join the company in the past year) • Ability to have flexible work schedule when needed • Career development resources and programs have room to grow but are a focus area which is positive

Cons

• Culturally the company is very fast paced and everything feels like it's a top priority which can lead to burn out, work/life blend continues to be an area of opportunity (even little things like leadership modeling taking time off could make a big difference) • Benefits overall are not super competitive • Environment could be more inclusive for working parents, caregivers, those in unique life situations, etc who have important responsibilities outside of work

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.
