Pros
* Execs care about the employees and are trying hard to right the ship * Values are put into practice by the execs * Rank and file Clouderans are smart and willing to help each other * Certain Cloudera groups (diversity & inclusion, recruiting, hr) try very hard to inspire employees
Cons
Biggest problem is middle managers that do nothing but go to meetings, sit in councils/committees and create slides. Here's a little secret: besides the proprietary components, Cloudera doesn't really do Product Management, they do Product Marketing and their Product Management leadership is really just Product Marketers with Product Management titles. No surprise then that (as other reviewers have said here) product managers do not use the product and therefore have no respect from the engineers. To boot, these guys are terrible managers: most direct reports leave the company or try to move to another group within a year. If you want to just do slides this is the perfect job for you. If you want to do real Product Management stay away!
