Pros

Strong cloud native technology that solves some key business challenges Competition closing gap quickly.

Cons

Databricks is by far the worst company that I have ever worked for. The culture is toxic in every way. You spend more time justifying your existence in endless management reviews, than working to deliver value to customers and technology partners. There is no work life balance to the constant micromanagement from the in-country leadership team, who offer no positive input to customer engagements, and have little interest in up lifting or supporting their team. The same can be said for more experienced and tenured Solution Architects, who are very difficult to work with, and treat their colleagues with contempt. I would not recommend this company for anyone who is looking for a collaborative, positive and supportive workplace.

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.
