HR is full of lip service

Pros

There is still immense potential, and ways to retain employees who actually care, simply don't waste it.

Cons

Saw HR's reply to the review titled "Really HR? ...". Several people have talked to upper management about the lack of female leadership and other issues mentioned in other reviews, yes, your open door policy. The answer always refers us to the HR. The HR seems helpless, full of lip service and not committed to the goal of protecting Cloudera legally. There seems to be a clique of VPs, including HR, and the interest is to extend each other's tenure by nodding and complying with each other, with minimum effort to change the status quo. "Hate crimes" have happened in Cloudera and keeps happening again and again, the HR has exposed the company to real legal risks this way.

Pros

Company provides lunch Great snack bar Many excellent employees who work very hard Lots of free t-shirts with Cloudera on the front

Cons

Bland leadership, corporate strategy, and brand Arrogant mid-level management No real effort to address the lack of diversity in upper management —no women or black people in high profile or strategic positions-despite leadership’s promise to work on this over the last couple of years No work life balance. You are penalized if don't check in during your vacation Poor communication between departments
