How's Databricks as a company to work with (Work culture, career & company growth, compensation etc)?

Company growth will be huge. Compensation is just as good or better than alternatives. Career is fast or slow depending on who you ask, but I think it’s clear how to get the positions you want. Culture: I’m working with the smartest folks I’ve worked with. There’s quite a bit of growth lately combined with remote work which has caused a decrease in connectedness. The company is transparent as far as I can tell. Some folks are over worked, but this is becoming less frequent the more we scale.

Customers enjoy meeting with us and respect what we have to say, even if it is nearly impossible to keep up with all the tech. Speaking of which — tons of learning opportunities across tech domains (data engineering, machine learning, BI, Cloud, and automation), industries, and company strategy (users, use cases, initiatives, org structure).

Finally, the valuation just keeps going up.

Hi Fishes!!
I am planning to move to other organisations within Mainframe as the growth % in terms of salary is very less in my current organization.
Kindly suggest the current market trend for 6+ YOE in mainframe for COBOL, JCL, DB2 developer and Junior DB2 DBA role.
Current CTC is 10 LPA
It would be of great help in planning and selecting future companies.
Thanks in advance!!🙂
