Company became so-so

Software engineering manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Good WLB 2. Culture and people are good 3. Benefits are decent

Cons

Company lost the luster & brand it used to be once because of lack of innovation and management, Management is not technical what so ever and most good employees left or shown door. Hardly any innovation these days as more processes & people come in way. Company became a sweatshop surviving on legacy customers or old license deals.

Pros

It's been 6 months since I joined Cloudera and I'm having a great time here. Cloudera truly cares about its employees, goes above and beyond in ensuring that the employees are having a holistic time professionally and personally. The management is transparent and company wide town-halls happen every month. There is no dearth of technical scope, plenty of opportunities to learn, grow and contribute meaningfully.

Cons

Coming from a startup I don't see any cons in the way Cloudera functions at this point.
