Pluspunten

The level of intellect is astounding. From marketing to engineering, these folks got it. The work is very challenging and rewarding. Being at the nexus of the universe with data and AI/ML is exponentially better when you’re surrounded by supportive colleagues and Executive management. - Do you want to be challenged? - Do you want to be treated like a human being, and not another internal SKU that’s weighted against PNL? - Do you want to wake up and feel energized to do the right thing by the customer? - Do you want to be surrounded by the best and brightest in Data Engineering and Data Science? - Do you enjoy feeling as if your efforts are contributing to making a change? Databricks, bar none, is the best company I’ve ever worked for. The work is challenging and rewarding. The Executive team treats every employee with a level of respect I’ve not witnessed at other companies and this extends into market teams. Look, if you’re a “hide in the shadows” type of employee, this is not the job for you. If you’ve been in the shadows, waiting and wanting to step into a role where you’re actively engaged, this is a place for you. But, do not be mistaken, barrier to entry is very high. Not hard, but high. We don’t run you thru a gauntlet of interviewers, but realize that if you’ve got holes in your chops, sand the rough corners. This is not like other companies, where they will fill an open requisition to expand head count. The company is lethal when it comes to protecting their culture and it begins at the hiring process. Don’t let that dissuade you from applying, believe me, you want to be here. It’s that they just won’t hire anyone, there is a common thread I’ve recognized. Every single person here, at least the ones I’ve encountered, are more than willing to stop what they’re doing and help. They could be embedded with the most complex code they’ve ever written, deep with espresso from Sumatra and whey protein chips, and they will stop to help you. Think about that. The level of emotional intelligence it takes to stop what you’re doing, not signal a molecule of irritation and genuinely want to see you succeed, by helping you. This, in essence, is why the bar is so high for employment, to protect the culture. I have a tremendous amount of pride in Databricks and have a genuine appreciation for what this company has become. It’s really the people that make. Well, that and our platform is the best at what it does.

Minpunten

It takes too long to get our branded Patagonia jackets? It’s not really a con. Frankly, I’ve got nothing when it comes to this.

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.
