      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Seemed like a great opportunity to work on open source software and be influential.

      Cons

      Difficult working relationship with team engineers and director(s). Too much middle management: there were three managers between me and the head of engineering, and engineering is barely 300 people. Company is more sales and customer than core technology focused. Engineers and managers too worried about their own career growth and covering their rears to make the company great. Weak position in open source community for some core technologies. Unclear, ever changing business direction.

      Pros

      High tech company working on a lot of neat projects with Big Data. One of the dominant players in the Hadoop market competing with Hortonworks.

      Cons

      Hadoop has not received widespread adoption that Cloudera was hopeful that it would. The Cloud players are now dominating this market. There will always be on-prem Hadoop use cases out there, but widespread adoption no longer looks like a foregone conclusion. Combined with the technical hurdles around IT operations in setting up a Hadoop cluster, this is a very difficult sales job.
