Pros

Cloudera has been the best company and culture I have worked for so far. The leadership across the CEO, Founders, and SVP of Sales is second to none in my experience. I have been here 3 years now and have been promoted twice. The way I have seen it work is fair. If you work hard and give it your all you get the opportunity to be promoted. My last company I was at for 13 years and politics played a big role. Cloudera does a good job of keeping honest to those that deliver. I appreciate executives that are humble, hard working for the company, and accessible for customer calls. Our executives get involved in selling and care about the people and company. My current executive leader has made a point of mentoring me and helping me hone my executive skills. It means a lot for someone to do that as they don't have to.

Cons

I do not have cons on Cloudera.

Pros

Cloudera has been an excellent environment for growth, excellent customers, solid technical colleagues and a focus on mentorship and building up its employees. One specific call out would be to senior management as they have been extremely down to earth and engaged with customers and employees given the scale of the business.

Cons

Growing Pains, nothing specific.

Pros

The inclusive culture is great, and peers will always rally around others looking for help. The executive management in the company is unrivaled to any company I have ever seen. They are open, honest, transparent, and make employees feel like they are a part of something transforming to the industry. I have never seen executives so in tune to the pulse of the company, and understand what the company needs in many facets of the business. Cloudera provides excellent opportunities for growth and career advancement. Hard work and results are recognized.

Cons

Work/life balance can be tough here, but it isn't in any way forced from management. Clouderans love what they do, and give it their all. It's hard not to be overworked when we truly buy into the vision of what this company is, where we are going, and the opportunities ahead. Just be careful and set reasonable boundaries to get the work/life balance you require. Cloudera has an unlimited vacation policy, so there is no excuse not to work out the R&R you need to stay healthy and balanced.
