Cons
Let’s talk attrition. Anyone who joins now will not be surrounded by top talent. For starters, >1/2 of the people on the careers page video don’t even work here anymore. Many accomplished longtime employees have departed in the last 6 months. Good for them. They are presumably getting huge TC increases and actual appreciation for their work. Many (not all) of the remaining longtime managers/directors stay because no other company will offer the same title and comp that Cloudera is giving them. Any leftover top talent is severely burned out. For comp: The new hires are probably getting generous TC numbers because practically no one wants to work here anymore, but as soon as you sign that letter, you are just another person on Cloudera payroll. With every round of salary and equity review, you will be made to feel grateful for a tiny raise to go with a depreciating stock grant, because as a Clouderan this is how you should be contributing to profitability goals. Culture, Politics, Respect: If you’re good at playing the political game, stop reading cause you’ll thrive here. It’s not a meritocracy and working 12 hours per day will make you a quick target for more work. This is a place where titles DO matter. You don’t see many people under 35 here and that’s not a coincidence.
