Pros

The technical people are advanced in their skill sets

Cons

Sales in Databricks are seen as "Top Dogs" who essentially can get away with anything. For example, I saw rudeness/aggression/intimidation to databricks customer partners and nothing was done about it. There was also bullying from Sales Leads (AE's) and not only will you get no support, but you will be blamed for any issues. Working here affected my mental health badly - the manipulation and narrative particular protected people strung was infuriating. Micromanagement was a daily hassle, so was diary snooping and so evidencing an obvious lack of trust and suspicion between AEs, senior management and field engineers / SAs.
