Pros

Unplugged days, and competitive pay

Cons

The company is trying to be bought, and is taking no mercy with its people in the process. This is year two, and after not being attractive enough once, they need to strip more to try again. The company's marketing and PS departments bleed money, the engineering department is completely mismanaged, HR is a empire run by one nepotistic leader who is not the CHRO, and attrition is never ending. The culture is toxic; working people to the bone with very little praise or additional compensation for it, managers who treat employees like they owe them something, nontransparent executive leadership. I would not recommend this place if you have any interest in growing your career.

Change is never easy, and we recognize that it can create uncertainty. Leadership remains focused on making the best decisions for both employees and the long-term success of the company. Growth looks different for everyone, and we are always working to create an environment where people can build meaningful careers. We know that experiences vary, and we appreciate your perspective. Thank you for being part of Cloudera, and we wish you the best in what comes next.
