- Great Colleagues - Great Benefits & Pay - Innovative Product - Flexible & Diverse Approach to Work I recently returned to Cloudera and I'm absolutely thrilled to be back on the team. As a boomerang employee, the team have been so welcoming and encouraging. My experience over the past few months has been exceptional. I have great colleagues and feel I'm exposed to learning opportunities here at Cloudera that I might not usually get. I'm delighted to be able to continue my career at Cloudera and learn from the team.
