Pros
  • Interesting technical problems.
  • Co-workers are very smart and very collaborative. Consistent high quality, unlike high variance at FAANG.
  • Engineering org is still small enough that you can have a lot of impact regardless of your level.
  • Focus on building great products, cut through BS, company doesn't waste time on distractions.
  • Well-positioned for lots of future growth.
Cons

Technical debt from organic growth over many years, but this is also an opportunity and the company is prioritizing fixing it.

Internal tools could be better, but this is also an opportunity (if you work on a team that works on internal tools) and the company is working on fixing it.

WLB is not ideal, but also not as bad as some people say. It seems to be more a function of the kind of people Databricks hires than something imposed by management.
