Pros

Databricks is on its way to becoming one of the iconic software companies which mark this century. Our enterprise grade Unified Data Analytics Platform is a market leader for next generation distributed computing, big data, and AI. We deliver a friction free devops environment, purpose built to break down silos between data engineers, data scientists, and business analysts, with a security first approach to all features including access to compute and data. We have shaped the open source ecosystem through Spark, Delta Lake, MLflow, and Koalas. And we are just getting started!

Cons

Databricks is not for everyone. Whoever joins must have a "we over me" mentality; otherwise, that individual will be misfit with the wider cultural norms. This is only a negative for those who are looking for something else.

Pros

-autonomy -high growth potential -engaged employees -exciting products -clear vision and strong execution

Cons

-lacking internally processes which is causing some stresses on divisions -some divisions are operating as if Databricks is a 100-person company -- however this creates more opportunities for impact in change

Pros

I have been with Databricks 4+ years and have seen a lot of changes over those years, and all of the changes have been for the better. This company is truly something special. I commute very far to work (3+hrs a day) and I still wake up excited to come into work and do my job, and it really has to do with the people. Working with like-minded folks, all driven for the same cause and willing to help and support each other is truly refreshing. This is a company that keeps the bar high, is building the right brand, and constantly aware of building its culture. I cant wait to see where we go in the next 4 years.

Cons

My commute, but I get to work from home 1 day a week.
