Pros: Exciting high-growth industry. Product that is amazing. Exposure to modern data stack and tools.

Cons: Team culture is inconsistent and heavily dependent on who you work with. There is a presence of toxic and backstabbing behaviour that undermines trust and collaboration. Recent hires are not as impressive.

Pros: Databricks is a rocketship! Great technical stack, strong support for open-source projects. Very open culture.

Cons: With growth, expect changes in org structure, and this has happened somewhat regularly, on average every 18 months or so.

Pros: Fantastic technology, platform, top executive team, vision, and people of experts, such as engineers and architects.

Cons: I believe that, unfortunately, the bad, mediocre managers, the unnecessary micro-management taking so much time away from the important core work to do with customers, the bad aspects of AWS culture sweeping through, managers displaying backstabbing, unfair, contrary-to-company's-values and contrary-to-work-ethics and principles behavior, unchecked lies and retaliatory practices, incompetence and Dunning-Kruger effect in new Managers and Directors, are ruining the SAs work, our great work for our customers and the company's culture.
