Thank you for your review and it is great to see that you have confidence in Cloudera's roadmap. It is important that we listen to our customers and that we meet their needs. We need to continue to be focused on innovation and continuous improvement. Listening to our employees is just as important as listening to our customers and we will certainly take this feedback into consideration as we move forward.

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits, flexible schedule, product has potential, decent install base but struggling to keep it. Has some capabilities that nobody else can match.

Cons

Cloudera is viewed as a legacy company and doesn't seem to be providing new or innovative product offerings. No clear direction on where the company is headed and lack of vision from leadership. Difficult to implement any solutions and time to value is slow. Current hiring freeze, even for positions that people left, indicate that the company doesn't expect much growth in the next year. Current company narrative and goals do not align to the actions they are taking.

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are happy with the positive aspects of the company that you mentioned in your review! Regarding your comments on products, it’s important that we listen to our customers and that we meet their needs to Run & Reinvent, and innovation is key to that work. We are doing everything we can to push the needle and this year being named ‘Gartner's customer choice for Hybrid Data Platform’ shows that our efforts are paying off. However, saying that we need to continue to be focused on innovation and continuous improvement.
