Cloudera reviews

many first time managers do not know how to mange or motivate the team. Everyone behaves like IC instead of one team.

Too US-centric. Sometimes, I felt that we were second class citizens. That was partly because the company is like that, and partly because the majority of the team was US-based, and they had more control over the product roadmap. Work-life balance can sometimes be bad, but still not very bad. Many people are overskilled for the work they are expected to do. They select the best people in the interview process then give them non-senior level tasks. Not everyone is highly skilled. Support engineers are cheap workforce from India mainly, and they only serve as mail forwardimg agents between the pissed off customers and the engineers. When I had escalations, by the time I was involved, the customer was furious, and the support engineer had zero input. This happened quite frequently. It was different when the support organization was in Hungary. Total lack of processes. Sure, that means no rigid processes, but when you need something, you have to spend awful lot of time to figure out how to get it. A lot of things happened to the company, and all of it was communicated really badly to clouderans.
