Our Brickster Culture

Employees praised Databricks’ unique culture and the caliber of their peers, with many mentioning our high-performance environment, fulfilling and challenging work, and trust in leadership. Below are just a few words employees shared on Glassdoor that contributed toward the award:

“Databricks has the best data platform on the market and is a great company to work for. Bricksters are very talented, motivated people. At Databricks you're likely to find yourself on important projects at some of the largest companies in the world.”

“Leadership (not just the execs, but even directors and managers) are humble even as they set an ambitious vision for the future. Work gets busy in spurts, but overall the balance with life outside of work is ideal for me. Really smart teammates who all are willing to help I'm not sure there's another company with so many resources (courses, readings, and teammates) to help with career growth. If you want to be surrounded by the best and smartest people in data, and you want to push yourself, Databricks is a great place.”

“Inspiring exec management not scared to make tough decisions. Transparency like I've never seen in my professional life. Super smart and motivated people.”

“Hands down the most exciting and fulfilling job I've ever had in tech sales. Leadership team makes all the difference.”

“Excellent tech stack. A lot of opportunity to learn and exposition to all things data”

“Great product. Leadership I would follow into a battlefield. Fast-paced, high-energy, growth-oriented work environment. Smart, motivated employees who are a pleasure to work with.”

“Great company. Incredible innovation. Massive opportunity for growth.”
