Pros

The pace of innovation at Databricks is amazing, as are the people and culture. There are very little politics here. The company isn't so big, so you feel that your work is having an impact. This is the best company that I've worked at, and I've been working in tech for a few decades.

Cons

With the quick pace of change also comes a lot of hard work (although it's rewarding work). Also, Databricks is a start up, so there are processes that still need to be built out or matured - so it takes a growth mentality to thrive here. These aren't really cons, but are things that you need to know if you want to be successful at Databricks.

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.
