Pros

Benefits are great as well as flexible Fridays / Wellness Friday once a month

Cons

Failed HortonWorks and Cloudera merger that lead to Snowflake and DataBricks eating Cloudera's lunch and dinner, renewals in the tank that are sub 70% renewed, and various failed rebranding. Sales is a high turnover. All those HortonWorks customer will never come back. On premise is the only hope which leaves a limited market.
