Exciting work with great teams, but bureaucratic challenges
Exciting work with great teams, but bureaucratic challenges
Great teams made up of smart, and motivated people. Databricks is an exciting place to work because it is part of the growing data and AI tools space. The benefits and income are also good overall.
Databricks no longer feels like a startup. There are now multiple layers of bureaucracy, and leadership can feel territorial rather than collaborative. Over time, it can seem like business growth and internal politics have become stronger drivers than innovation or employee experience. For long-tenured employees, it may become harder to stay excited or feel challenged. Other companies may offer a more energizing environment.
Reduce bureaucracy, encourage stronger cross-team collaboration, and focus more on retaining and motivating long-tenured employees.
