Pros

Additional PTO days for engineering that are not comming of your PTO days. Its usually ~10 additional days a year that are announced at the start of the year. Usually Friday or Monday Food and coffee in the office (lunch on wednesday and monday + snacks everyday) are free. You can work in the office, remote or hybrid Salary is overall good and working overtime (like holidays) pays a nice bonus. Work life balance is super good here. The company actually has a "team budget". Every team has aroun 70~ dollars per person to spend on team building events every quarter.

Cons

It is hard to see forward in the companies future since too many things are happening at once, which affects transparency to some extent.

Cloudera Response

Our employee tenure reflects an environment where people are happy and reluctant to leave. We are always looking for positive ways to improve as an employer and a business- It is reassuring to know that we are making our employees happy both from a work and personal standpoint! Thank you for your feedback.
