      One of the Best Decisions of my Life!

      Sales development representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Small/Close-knit teams - Fully stocked kitchen/Catered lunches Tuesday & Thursday/popular drinks & snacks - Gym reimbursement - Free Downtown Parking - Company events & free travels (Florida/San Francisco/happy hours/company parties/water parks) - Located on Congress Ave - Awesome Recruitment/Sales Managers! (Stacey Pentland is an awesome recruiter to work with)

      Cons

      - Training is not easy. There's a lot of information to learn and retain before hitting the ground running, but that's with any Tech Company. So no real "con." Cloudera is awesome.

      Great company going through major growing pains

      Business analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great tech. Smart people. Great founders. Free snacks and lunch to pack on the lbs. Fun activities both corporate sponsored and grassroots. The employee culture is great. I would have beers with my coworkers any day.

      Cons

      Going through some major growing pains. Moving from being tactical to strategic has been a difficult transition. Individual contributors are moved into management with no training. And to deal with uncertainty and ambiguity these managers default to blaming and micro-managing. It's demoralizing. I joined company expecting to learn and do a lot, but opportunities are limited and individual growth is stunted.

      Incredible learning experience for engineers

      Software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Many of the company's products are distributed by nature. If you want to learn about distributed systems and the challenges inherent in building them, this is the place to be. - Due to the sheer breadth of the product suite, there are opportunities to work in very different kinds of programming environments. - Company culture emphasizes transparency and initiative. This is echoed from the top. - The CEO and executive staff know what they're doing and inspire confidence in the rest of the employees. - The engineering organization was physically distributed from very early on. Telecommuting happens often and is valued, and many teams are accustomed to using collaboration software to be more productive. - The company is in a great market: there is much opportunity and a lot of room to grow.

      Cons

      - The engineering team hasn't done a great job in career advancement. If you want more responsibility and visibility, you have to work at it yourself. This is starting to change, but it's still slow going. - You're not going to find the Google/Facebook level of perks and benefits here.
