Pros

Great place to work for. Lots of smart people to learn from. Huge potential ahead.

Cons

100% busy, lots of customers interested but the team does not scale fast enough. Sense of unfairness is huge in this place, Field engineering RSU is almost 50% those of Software engineering, unlike any other place, that makes me think if I made the right decision to join this team.

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.
