Pluspunten

The product brought me here. I like the direction of the company. I like the position for any type of open source era that we may be heading towards.

Minpunten

I'm really getting a bad feeling about this company with the people they hired on. No detailed check into their history/references. This is a tight nit community in the tech industry and word gets around fast. I don't know if management ignored any rumors or just didn't hear but probably too late. I have heard some of the people that have come here recently have been large contributors to declining cultures at their previous employers and have been jumping around from company to company very frequently.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry that you feel this way. One of our recruiting philosophies is to do our due diligence with anyone we hire. We evaluate each candidate thoroughly. Each candidate meets 4 or more Brick-sters and we require references from every candidate we extend an offer to. Being the start-up that we are, we understand our process is not bullet proof and we can get better. Unfortunately, we're going to have some misses as we develop and grow as a company. We will learn from our mistakes and do our best to not duplicate them.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
