Pros

* Management is very transparent * Intelligent coworkers * Very cooperative atmosphere * Work-life balance is respected * Company is doing well

Cons

* The bar is high * Company is growing fast. I'm fine with this, but you'll need to be comfortable with change * If you blindly take on any challenge and accept every meeting invite, your WLB will suffer

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.
