Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry that you feel this way. One of our recruiting philosophies is to do our due diligence with anyone we hire. We evaluate each candidate thoroughly. Each candidate meets 4 or more Brick-sters and we require references from every candidate we extend an offer to. Being the start-up that we are, we understand our process is not bullet proof and we can get better. Unfortunately, we're going to have some misses as we develop and grow as a company. We will learn from our mistakes and do our best to not duplicate them.

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.
