Pros

- Remote friendly - Strong compensation and perks/benefits - Extremely transparent company/CEO which is honestly so nice. - Very smart and capable colleagues. - Generally quite good code quality

Cons

- No 401k match I think - WLB is tough in a company that is trying to grow as much as we are. But that's what we signed up for

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.
