Employees say:
"For company of over 8K employees, it is incredibly refreshing to still feel like Databricks has a startup culture. We are encouraged to try new ways of getting work done. The core value of collaboration and first principles mindset is better than any other company I have seen - everyone cares more about the collective success of Databricks as a company vs their individual success."
Employees say:
"The founders provide an amazing level of innovation and the culture is the most transparent I have ever experienced. For example, at each weekly all hands meeting we start with a 30 minute CEO AMA session where any employee can ask any question. We also have an AMACEO slack channel where employees can ask any question 24 hours a day."
Employees say:
"Despite the size of the company and employee growth, Databricks continues to feel like a small startup where information is shared transparently and quickly across the organization. The company presents multiple opportunities each month at the core team (5-6 members), broad finance org and broader department level as well as an all hands that are held frequently and always carve time out in each of the meetings to answer any and all questions."
Employees say:
"The people around us in our day to day believe in the mission of the company. I do not feel like the people that work for Databricks just come in to collect a paycheck, they come in to work for a company changing the future of technology. My manager is incredible. I don't think I have ever felt as supported by a manager as I do now. The interpersonal communication that takes place between teams/people when I need it is bar none. The company also puts an immense amount of effort into providing the best benefits."
Employees say:
"Transparency in the direction of the organization and its strategy coming right from the top management. Even with a company of this size the CEO is very transparent with all employees in all hands meeting which instills a lot of trust."
Employees say:
"I've never worked for a company that was even close to as healthy. It usually takes a year or more for me to buy into the mission and culture, but here it was a matter of weeks. My manager has never been shy with meetings; he's been incredibly supportive and hands-on with coaching. I've occasionally needed to pull in experts from other teams to help with my work, and if anything, that's been viewed as a positive. Other places I've worked act like you're wasting other people's time by asking for help, but here it's a true team."
Employees say:
"Databricks has such an amazing culture. Leadership is transparent, empowering, innovative and cares deeply about employees. Over the past year, the company has implemented amazing new development programs for leaders at all level and new trainings for individual contributors. In addition, we have great benefits and pay very competitively."
