Pros

Cloudera has super smart people at the individual contributor and first line management levels. There is a collaborative atmosphere. People are quick to help one another out. The technology is interesting. The pay is good. Untracked/unlimited time off is great.

Cons

I worked at Cloudera for many years and used to love it. However, the culture started changing when they merged with Hortonworks in 2019, and went downhill quickly when the new CEO, Rob Bearden, took over. Now it feels like employees are considered cogs in a machine and work-live balance is no longer a concern. Even a year after the merger, priorities are in disarray and communications are chaotic.

Pros

The company has good, smart people and decent products

Cons

Ever since the Hortonworks merger, the company seems to struggle with finding it's future direction. COVID-19 hasn't helped matters. Will be interesting to see how the company does once things settle down.
