Avantages
- 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
Inconvénients
- Technical debt from organic growth over many years, but this is also an opportunity and 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 company is working on fixing it - WLB is not ideal, but also not as bad as some people say. Seems to be more a function of the kind of people Databricks hires, than something imposed by management.
