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.

Am I crazy to take a pay cut to “chase my dream”? Manager looking to leave Bain - I want to do corporate sustainability - I got an offer for a traditional corp strategy job at $195k base, $23k bonus (no longer-term incentives aka no equity / profit sharing), so similar to current comp except for NAP, but am hoping something sustainability-related comes through. Right now in talks for a sustainability director role that would be closer to $160k base / $20k bonus. (More in comments)

My company was just acquired by a private equity firm. We’ve been around for 25+ years and have been a public company. They say “business as usual” for now, and I feel like the product I work in is pretty safe. I also received direct, positive feedback from the company’s COO surrounding my leadership. I recognize there can be positives and negatives to this type of acquisition, but I’m curious if anyone has any tips, feedback, personal experiences, etc. they can share?
