      Great place to work

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Energetic and agile environment to work, open and friendly culture. Wed is typically WFH day so that you can get some peace to do coding work. Frequent tech talks and all-hands / email updates from board to put everyone on the same page, and bring the company moving forward.

      Cons

      When you work in open source, you don't work 9-5 - typically you can work, or rest whenever you want. Emails got filled from time to time. Sometimes escalation calls wakes you up - when it get to eng, the issue is usually pretty serious and complex.

      Loosing some sheen last couple of years

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Smart Team of Engineers * Interesting Problems * 'Big Data' interest/demand seems to be on the rise in the industry * Great office perks * Wednesday no-meeting / WFH day

      Cons

      * Lots of good people leaving - right after they hit the 4 yr mark * Setting sights to compete with Teradata etc.. means reduced focus on other things that Hadoop has tonnes of potential for. * Skewed investments favoring certain teams while some teams are left without adequate resources. * Marketing talks about being a Hadoop company, but focus lately on customer lock-in with proprietary Management Layer and pushing Impala (Which is not really a bad thing maybe, since its a differentiator) and new Tech which does nothing to extend the Hadoop ecosystem anyway. * Don't really have adequately differentiating / better technology (which cannot be replicated by competitors easily) to warrant NOT going IPO for this long. * Hortonworks grabbing more developer mind share, and MapR has a substitute for HDFS which justifies its proprietary license by simply being more reliable and faster. * Engineering Cycles wasted on irrelevant initiatives that don't really push the product forward.
