Pros

- Fast paced product releases - Good focus on creating an entrepreneurial spirit - Well funded, competitive pay

Cons

- Terrible culture (ANZ), no one is happy except the management team who want to cash out - There is no trust. All sales activity is tracked (calls, notes, meetings, outbounds, emails etc), however, these metrics are not important ... only sales - even at the cost of customer relationships and employee turnover. PIPs are handed out like lollies to some of the best reps in the region when they miss a target. - Sales success is with a few "lucky" individuals, the vast majority are not making their number and either looking for another job or waiting for the IPO payday. - Every manager pretends to want to help you, but the truth is, they have no ability to help their reports. They are powerless and hopeless.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
