Pros: I won't say anything surprising here: * The tech is great. I love building things with Databricks. * I believe in the executive leadership's vision. * The company is successful. I think my equity is worth something. I would write more about the pros here, but others have said most of what I could say.

Cons: Small cons first: * No 401K matching. * Our infrastructure policies are weird and delete things you create after a few weeks. So you end up in a situation where that app/pipeline/ML model/agent you made doesn't work just in time for a demo sometimes. These aren't a big deal. What is a big deal is that there is not a small chance you will run into a toxic work environment as an SA. * In my less than 1 year tenure here, I've heard of multiple instances where other Solutions Architects were fired because they upset sales leadership. My AE was also fired for upsetting sales leadership. * We conduct anonymous culture surveys every six months. On a group call, a sales manager reviewed the feedback someone had written about her and attempted to identify the author of the feedback. It was uncomfortable. * I don't have the time to go into all of the insanity with Salesforce rules and reporting, or the scorecard sales execs have, or the many internal calls related to the two. I can only say no rational human will enjoy it.

Pros: - Transparent - 10/10 work culture - Well compensated - Flexible Time Off

Cons: Can't think of many cons here.

Pros: Great product and technology that enables companies to get value out of their data. Awesome colleagues that are willing to help solve any business-critical technical challenges. Good benefits and strong company growth. A data-driven company that helps focus on key company goals to increase our overall business.

Cons: Career ladders are not clearly defined. However, management has always been open to discussing my feedback and helping to make changes.
