Pros
If people are realistic, they don't want to work for a company that is perfect. That's impossible. They want to work at a company that continually strives to be great. Databricks is a place where people can be themselves. They can be individuals and express their ideas. And because of this, our people come up with amazing ideas that help our customers. People are willing to help each other out. Even if it doesn't help them. I've had countless experiences where I've asked people for help, and they embraced the effort as if it were their own. And I've been asked and done the same for others. Our leadership routinely looks at employee engagement and tries to do the right thing by them. Are they perfect? No. They are transparent and people know they're trying. We're setting records on growth, delivering amazing innovations to the market, exceeding customer expectations...but it's because we have passionate people who feel like they're making a difference. I'm thankful to work with such incredible people in a tremendous culture.
Kontras
This isn't a 9-5 culture. This isn't a place where you just work on a set list of problems. We're all very motivated about the potential to change the industry and we do what it takes to do the right thing. If your primary concern is about how quickly you'll be promoted, or how quickly you'll become a millionaire... it's probably not the right fit for you. There are ample promotions and opportunities to become wealthy, but it comes from a desire to build great things.
