Pros

- People. The top reason I work at Cloudera are the people. I love my managers and the team I work with. Very smart folks yet fun to work with. - Founders / Executives. I've worked in tech for decades and I really like the founders and, for the most part, the executive team as well. One of the co-founders still hangs out late nights for hackathons and gaming with engineers. Overall I find the executive team very approachable, and they actually listen to people below them in the org chart. - Open source development. If you want to be an active open-source developer, Cloudera is a great place to be. The majority of our codebase is changed open-source first, then those changes are brought back into our repositories.

Cons

- Not all managers are as great as mine. Luckily, movement within the company is encouraged. - The dark side of open source development: It can be harder to make changes quickly since you need community consensus. This is normal, but can be frustrating when you own a feature with a deadline.
