Pros

Caveat: I am a current employee of Cloudera and I work remotely. As part of the product team, the work is very challenging, and I feel like I'm learning a lot. The people here are very understanding and are more than willing to work with you to bring you up to speed. I work remotely: the work life balance is fantastic, and as long as you get your work done and you let people know ahead of time if you have anything crop up, things tend to be okay. You will be challenged here, but I very much consider this a good thing. A lot of room for growth and learning from some of the smartest people in the industry.

Cons

Benefits are so-so: no 401k matching, and decent health benefits. Sometimes conflicting messages from my leads can confuse things, but these are typically resolved without a ton of issue. As a remote employee, communication can be challenging. This is a two way street, however.

Pros

Its been a little over a month here, and Cloudera's been very good for me so far. The facilities and the onsite perks for employees are very good and are better than most, if not all, valley companies. The culture of work is very open, and people are willing to help you onboard as well as spend time handling critiques when seeing things with a new perspective.

Cons

Growing fast, a lot of hiring across all areas, so there are certainly some growing pains with communication/information dissemination, and feeling directly connected to the whole, especially if you are new and haven't waded through the rivers of Hadoop prior.

Pros

Excellent talent pool, good perks and clear outlook for the company. Inspite of stiff competition, Cloudera is and will continue to be the market leader in the Big Data space. As a brand, Cloudera is worth the hype.

Cons

Very stiff competition in the big data segment, need a much more defining/attractive differentiators from the rest of the companies in this space
