      Pros

      I have spent the last fifteen years at bay area enterprise software companies including VMW, BEA, and Sun. I think Cloudera has the same energy as those companies in their early days. The difference is the leadership. I feel that Cloudera's leadership is passionate and caring. The engineering organization does a great job listening to its employees.

      Cons

      Fast growth companies can definitely alienate people that don't do well with change. That said, Cloudera does a great job managing change.

      Pros

      Great technology that has changed the landscape of how data can change an organization

      Cons

      Executives are simply, totally, completely drinking their own koolaid. Look at the numerous reviews all posted within hours/days of the management talking about the bad reviews they were getting on a company wide call. Instead of really trying to fix it, they instead make a public outcry so that people would come on here and say nice things. They then went back to their offices and continued to pat themselves on the back. Doesn't work that way management team from execs, product vp's, HR, and most specifically the field leadership.

      We appreciate you viewpoint. I do want to be totally clear on the following: our intention at the All Hands was to remind our employees of the many internal options to provide the leadership team with feedback so that we can take action on them. We highlighted our employee surveys, open door practices, ethics hotline and HR function because we can better address issues via these channels. Posting anonymously to Glassdoor is typically not actionable due to the fact that one can post without identifying anything that helps us locate where the issue may exist. It was not our intention to promote/persuade our employees to post positive reviews. Our focus continues to be making working here a great experience for Clouderans. One of the ways we are able to achieve that is by understanding what issues exist where and addressing them

      Pros

      Executive management team is seasoned and understands the opportunities and challenges in the marketplace. A commitment to open communication and transparency regarding the business. Strong commitment to a long term opportunity for employees to grow with the company. The company strategy is aligned with the needs of their customers.

      Cons

      The company can only influence the adoption and expansion of Hadoop. There are larger market forces that need to play out for Hadoop to expand more broadly among traditional business units. Managing a successful open source business is a challenge that few have managed well.
