Pros

Databricks products are very good, and adoption is growing. Working with the popular product increases chances of career growth.

Opportunity to work with a variety of customers.

Cons

Sales account executives are given insane targets, and they do everything desperately to destroy your work-life balance. Leadership is not doing much to improve the situation, rather bringing in crappy processes to increase the amount of workload. This results in bad vibes and bad relationships between colleagues, where nobody really cares. It is getting worse over time.

Advice to Management

Invest in people’s enablement and well-being. Employees are key to success and long-term sustainable growth. Without them, a company won't be able to compete with other players in the market. The pursuit of short-term thinking will kill culture and the company.
