/ 100
Databricks offers clear, recurring entry points for students and new grads, and the company backs that up with cohort-style roles and explicit mentorship language in early-career job postings. Databricks also publishes candidate-facing guidance on the hiring process and shares pay bands on at least some early-career roles, which is a practical signal of transparency. The main limiter is mixed public candidate and employee feedback on consistency, especially around responsiveness and clarity of progression, and the lack of published early-career outcomes data.
