      Failed HortonWorks and Cloudera merger, renewals in the tank and various failed rebranding

      Sr. enterprise account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits are great as well as flexible Fridays / Wellness Friday once a month

      Cons

      Failed HortonWorks and Cloudera merger that lead to Snowflake and DataBricks eating Cloudera's lunch and dinner, renewals in the tank that are sub 70% renewed, and various failed rebranding. Sales is a high turnover. All those HortonWorks customer will never come back. On premise is the only hope which leaves a limited market.
