Pros

It's a company made by engineers, for engineers. We've got the freedom to act and the responsibility and chance to deliver. I enjoy working here for a couple of years now.

Cons

Merging w/ Hortonworks takes time and nerves. Especially when it comes to all the different cultures of both companies.

Pros

1. Top-notch engineering team (original folks from Hortonworks) 2. Lots of good talent left in Sales/Solution Engineering, PS, Support, etc 3. Opportunity to get exposed to lots of tech and use cases (not typically possible with a fast-paced <$1B company) 4. Top-notch marketing

Cons

1. Cloudera -prior to merger with Hortonworks- behaved like a very large, slow company with no decision making muscle--every group/BU used to run independently and each tiny BU used to behave like a $B org, managed by junior GMs with no prior P&L experience. 2. Takes forever to make important strategic goals beyond saying "we want to be a cloud-first company" while neglecting the core install-base. 3. Needs a good CEO who can clean up the executive team and bring experienced execs who can scale to $B+ company
