Databricks

Great growth for mid-career. Databricks is growing fast, so you'll have the chance to make a huge impact at mid-level.

Great comp package. Total comp is competitive with FAANG, with more upside.

Good work-life balance. Strong focus on delivery, but leadership has high trust in the team when there are hiccups/challenges.

Engineering-driven organization, so engineers drive roadmaps and determine timelines.

Deep technical challenges. You're not just building another CRUD app with the same scaling strategies.

Investment in engineers' careers. Lots of engineers here have 4+ years at Databricks and are staying beyond initial vesting.

Decision-making and ownership could be clearer.

With some cross-team projects, it's unclear who is accountable for driving the project and who has the final say.

D&I numbers are not great. While there is nothing negative if you are an underrepresented individual, there doesn't seem to be org-wide level efforts to drive representation or clear accountability tied to leadership to improve D&I.
