Cons
While Databricks as a whole is phenomenal, leadership at the local level can sometimes fall short. For example, in Costa Rica, the Director of Operations lacks strong leadership skills, which can create challenges. However, this is an isolated issue and does not reflect the overall excellence of Databricks. The culture and people I work with remain amazing!
