Pros

Engineering and product teams are customer-focused and innovate quickly. Great place to dig in and really learn how to do software development for customers. Leaders are honest and transparent about what's going on. They're open to trying different approaches and don't shy away from making hard decisions.

Cons

Cross-group collaboration could be stronger. Company has grown very rapidly in the past year so there are lots of new people learning how things work and how to work together.

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.
