Pros

-Decent medical insurance -Gym reimbursement -Self development fund -In office perks -Reinbursement for internet for remote employees.

Cons

Extremely disorganized. Requisitions don't get released until 1 month into the quarter and TA is expected to exceed hiring goals which equals working late nights and most weekends. There isn't a structured process that recruiters have to follow - some have calendly links and some expect sourcers to manually schedule candidates on their calendars. I highly DO NOT recommend working at Databricks as a Sourcer - you will compete against referrals, applicants, and other sources which make it extremely challenging to hit your hiring target. Leadership praises recruiting while sourcing is left in the dust. Sourcers are currently measured on Offer Accepts when in reality they should be measured on quality of candidates/top of funnel. Databricks also recently had a re-org within TA and let go 20% of recruiting and most Sourcers. I would avoid working at Databricks at all costs.
