Databricks Work Experiences
5.0
Ideal place to learn and grow
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
December 6, 2015
Pros: - Extremely talented, grounded, and motivated coworkers
- Competent and open-minded upper management
- Business plan is ambitious and expansive
I think Databricks is one of the best places to work as an engineer. The engineers here are uniformly competent, hard-working, and compassionate, and the co-founders who lead engineering set a fantastic example. I'm happy to be a Brickster!
Cons: - We're still a young company and going through some growing pains, so production fires are a bit more common than I'd like.
- It tends to be a hardworking bunch (by choice, not dictum), so not ideal if you're looking for a 9-5 gig.
- Making enterprise software can be a pain in the butt (hands-on treatment for large customers, having to be very careful about backwards compatibility).
