Pros

The best thing about working at Cloudera is the caliber of people. Everyone I work with is above par in their field and passionate about what they are working on. No matter your role in the company everyone is very approachable and I appreciate being part of a flat organization. Another amazing thing about this company is the opportunities that are available to you. My bosses are always open to new ideas and support me while working on something new. I love being challenged everyday.

Cons

There is very little work-life balance but that is part of working at a successful start-up. I have the freedom to take time off but I wish there was more push from the management for work-life balance.

Pros

Open culture with top notch talent. I've worked at some of the most well known technology companies in the world and Cloudera ranks up there with the best of them when it comes to the talent bar. You know it's a high bar when you regularly hang out with people who are well known, industry recognized experts. Start up culture so not too heavy on process/policy. Freedom to be yourself and help the company grow. I always feel like I'm contributing and having an impact. Leadership is open to feedback and gives regular all hands meetings where they share the strategy/vision.

Cons

Growing so fast I don't know everyone anymore! It used to be that I knew everyone...but that's quickly changing. We're growing internationally as well, which is exciting.

Pros

Cloudera is growing up strong and fast! We have quickly emerged as the leader in enterprise data analytics, and have amazing partnerships with companies like Intel, Microsoft, EMC, Redhat, and Terradata all counting on our continued success. This rapid growth and new found credibility makes Cloudera a very exciting place to work. Each day is a challenge to raise the bar even higher, and Clouderans are extremely passionate abut ensuring our continued success. This is a fast paced, dynamic, full throttle type of environment. You definitely will not get bored working here. The culture is relaxed an easy going. There are no offices, so all management sits on the floor with everyone else. The executive team and upper level managers are very approachable and really seem to care about their employees. Cloudera is also putting an extra emphasis on it's culture by starting to host monthly happy hours, team outings, hackathons, and other fun social events. A few key leaders are very invested in creating and keeping a great culture which gives hope for continued success in this area.

Cons

Cloudera is a work hard play hard type of environment with an emphasis on work hard. We have fun and enjoy each others company, but expect to put in long hours. Upper management is passionate and right there in the trenches with you which makes the tough work manageable.
