A fast growing company with a challenging, supportive environment, where there are opportunities to do interesting work.
Pros
There are plenty of interesting problems to solve. The company is growing quickly which means there are opportunities to decide how things will be done, to be part of an exciting phase in the company's life-cycle, and who knows what the future will bring in terms of IPOs, etc. The people I work with are smart, engaged, friendly, and they have a focus on getting stuff done. Big data technology is pretty cutting edge, and the tools and methodologies we're using will look good on my resume.
Cons
It's unlikely that non-technical friends will have direct experience with the technology (unlike some parts of places like Apple, Google, or Facebook). Cloudera uses an open floor plan which is very popular these days, but I miss the quiet of the offices I had in days gone by. There's pressure to deliver features to the market, beating competitors, which is reasonable, but sometimes the planning of what we will do doesn't seem to match what is practical to do in the time available; we make it work, but I'd like to be able to take a bit more time to do even better work.
