Avantages
I have been at Databricks for a year now and in the last one year I have seen org go through insane growth in terms of customer growth and org hiring (>2x in a year alone!) There are a ton of "Pros" working for Databricks, for instance: - personal and professional growth is unparalleled - teams/people are super smart - lean processes - company benefits (salary, RSUs, bonuses, gym allowance, food, travel etc.) - brand recognition ("Do you work at Databricks? That is so cool!") - internal mobility (Want to move internally to another country office? Sure!)
Inconvénients
- Insane growth comes at a cost: Work Life Balance. Working long hours, and working weekends are very common across all teams - Work pressure: Working long hours is one thing but there is work pressure (deliver! deliver! deliver!) as well. Focus is on the outcomes, which is great & right approach from org perspective but this can have a huge toll on people's wellness - Culture & Values: Databricks, like any other big firm, has defined culture values but are they really applied on daily basis? Not so much (except for customer obsession!). - No company phone: This is strange becasue Databricks will give you all the perks that you could ask for but NOT a phone (exception sales!).
