Good product, cult like culture

Pros

Great product that is going to heavily succeed for years to come. Get to work with some of the most intelligent people in the world and learn a lot. Depending on role, opportunity to work with a lot of high profile customers as well.

Cons

Leadership transparency is fake, a lot of reorganization taking place behind the scenes and false hope being spread. Said they would not do layoffs like other tech companies but definitely did do layoffs secretly without any warning. Offered terrible severance packages compared to other tech companies that did perform layoffs as well. Compares themselves to FAANG constantly but definitely not at the same professional level. Cult like culture where it is encouraged to bash other tech companies and competitors. They do it publicly all the time as well, check LinkedIn posts and comments.

Pros

-The overall technology is second to none and customers LOVE it -The people are the foundation of this organization, and Databricks invests heavily in the right people -Above market value compensation -Commission structure for sales -Leadership is diverse and incredible. All types of backgrounds and companies

Cons

-At this point 12 months in, I do not have one con to add to the list. With any company of course there are areas for improvement. The great thing about databricks is we're an agile organization and if there are issues around something, leadership acts quickly to correct this.
