Pros

Company’s culture is deeply rooted in the values of its founders: customer obsession, high talent bar, first principles thinking, etc. Most talented collection of people I have ever worked with. CEO is a generational leader on par with Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, etc. Pay for certain roles is top of market.

Cons

Management believes the private stock is more valuable than it is. Work life balance can be a challenge as the founders are all obsessed with work. Lack of gender diversity.

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.
