      Potential for greatness hindered by politics

      Pros

      Product. potential. some great people

      Cons

      Every organization plays politics but some teams at Cloudera can play out like a high school drama. Intimidation - jealousy - arrogance. If you can keep up with sticking up then you may have the chance to climb the ladder. Just look out behind you

      Great Company, Great Place to Work, Great Future

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Face paced, execution focused culture with a huge dose of humanity - Intelligent, experienced co-workers, many of whom have long tenures and believe in the tech/long-term prospects of the company - Management and colleagues care about your overall work experience and career progression - Lot's of challenging problems to work when you're trying to make an open source software business with a complex product work at scale Bottom line: people are respectful of your time and life and aren't political. It's a high energy atmosphere where you wake up excited to go to work.

      Cons

      - Scaling an open-source software business based on support is difficult. - A merger is highly disruptive so it takes time to get back into execution mode. I would say we've been through the worst of this for 2 months and it's definitely showing. - Dealing with general pessimism from outside analysts and a low stock price isn't for everyone. - Still not a huge organization by some standards so it's not a place to get "lost" in the mix. It's very much all hands on deck.

      Pros

      Smart people in marketing and good branding. Many strong speakers like the CMO, Chief Data Officer and Industry leaders. Some teams are well resourced and put on great events or have cool sponsorships.

      Cons

      Marketing isn't unified and the way budget is distributed isn't optimal. We never had a marketing all-hands this year and because of that it feed disjointed sometimes. Couple that with a LOT of turnover around merger uncertainty and we are stalled in many areas.
