Brand perception issue of being 'old and legacy' - fails to attract and retain talent amongst other downstream issues, lacks execution skills, losing customers at an alarming pace. Localised ethical issues with employment issues.

Pros

Nothing much positive to report.

Cons

I had a very disappointing experience working at Cloudera. The company is highly controlling and micromanaged, with rigid procedures that stifle creativity and independence. Management's constant oversight makes it difficult to work effectively and confidently. The work environment is toxic, with bullying by managers being a common occurrence. Unfortunately, HR and leadership seem to accept and overlook this behavior, offering no support or resolution when issues are raised. Additionally, my department was severely underfunded. There was no budget allocated for tools that could have made our jobs more efficient, further adding to the frustration and inefficiency. Overall, Cloudera's oppressive management style and lack of support made it an extremely stressful and unpleasant place to work. I cannot recommend this company to anyone seeking a positive and supportive workplace.

Thank you so much for your review and the impact that you have made during your time with Cloudera. Regarding your comments on products, it’s important that we listen to our customers and that we meet their needs to Run and 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. We are consistently reviewing compensation and have recently received 'Fair Pay certification', this will be reviewed annually going forward. We appreciate your advice.
