      Pros

      - The people!! Regardless of departments, the quality of people they've hired is incredible. - From a sales perspective, the variety of use cases for Hadoop keeps each day/phone call interesting. - Perks. Breakfast, lunch, coffee machines, a wall of snacks, commuter compensation, you name it. - Beautiful Offices in both Palo Alto and San Francisco - Incredible Opportunity to learn about the space, meet awesome people, and hone your skills

      Cons

      - A very corporate mentality for a 5 year old "Startup" company. - Line of sight to growth/promotion is hazy - Market is ever changing and the competitive landscape is getting full. - Sometimes they feel like the Yankees. Instead of promoting within, they hire the best free agents! - Office Politics

      Inspiring leadership and a world-class engineering team trying to change the world one petabyte at a time!

      Pros

      In engineering, the scope is broad and there are many opportunities for responsibility, working in open source, presenting at conferences, and occasionally interacting with customers big-and-small directly. Not only is the technical team is world-class (many phds/abd's), the folks have strong communication skills, public personalities, and dedciated to getting it done.

      Cons

      The aren't very many opportunities for straight-out-of-undergrad junior engineering folks currently. Those who have joined straight out of undergrad have generally spent a summer as an intern, or have demonstrated skill by being active in relevant open source projects.

      Cowboys and egos, if you believe in teamwork and trust, you need not apply.

      Pros

      Hadoop is really hot, and Cloudera has managed to be a leader in that space largely by being first and by hiring quality for the first 50 folks or so. Cloudera on your resume is a door opening credential.

      Cons

      There is no concept of teamwork at Cloudera a bunch of egos and cowboys, all the supportive team players in management left for healthier environments. Be prepared to keep an eye over your shoulder for trouble and view co-workers as competition rather than team-mates. Management is focussed on some IPO or acquisition and not at all concerned about building a decent company culture.
