Pros

An interesting product and a good remuneration package providing the stock price doesn’t go any lower

Cons

Doesn’t seem to be looking after and investing into its only differentiator anymore: its people

Great start to a company that abandoned their employees

Pros

Started with a great culture, great pay, flexible hours, lots of efforts to help employees work better together

Cons

"Grow with Cloudera" is not a reality, management is very unprofessional and unresponsive and do not listen to new ideas, product content is watered down by brand team, engineering team receives conflicting direction from managers, business decisions are made on unreliable data, sales is not focused, partner programs have become too demanding on vendors. Internal promotions are based on politics

Pros

Free food and a fish tank. Benefits are good compared to other SV comps Had some coworkers that made it worth staying

Cons

After IPO, working here went downhill just like the stock price. Too many management changes, no consistency and though the execs say they are transparent, when asked if there would be layoffs and they said No multiple times, People were let go and jobs eliminated you can only find growth there if your job has an actual progression within their structure or youre one of the ‘insiders’ that always gets a promotion, or a new job made specifically for them. Otherwise, you’re forced to look elsewhere. Leaders talk the talk but that’s it
