Pros

Cloudera has a very transparent open company culture. Mgmt will answer tough questions during all hands etc.. Very supportive people with open feedback. Still a strong engineering culture with focus on customer delivery. A company that is working closely with a lot of top 500 brandnames. Very broad analytics portfolio, strengthened by Hortonworks merger. Great perks, free lunch, vacation, 401K, good health benefits.

Cons

Playing some catchup in some technology areas, but that reality has sunk in.

Pros

Pros: - The people. The main reason I've stayed over 3 years. - Market opportunity. A lot of growth potential. - Engineering leadership. Overall very good. The head of engineering "gets it"; how to build quality software and not accumulate a bunch of tech debt. - Plenty of interesting challenges. Lots of opportunities to make a big impact.

Cons

The open-source software stack can be chaotic to build an enterprise product out of. On the other hand, plenty of opportunity to be active in Apache communities.
