Cloudera Reviews

Pros

I have been here at Cloudera for over 5 years, seen many, many changes yet despite some of the inherent challenges with big changes (IPO, merger with Hortonworks, 3 different CEOS and execs etc), I never felt like I had to jump ship. There is a sense of true community here at Cloudera. It seems like my voice is being heard and my actions appreciated. Good benefits, perks, salary and unlimited PTO. Good tools, especially during COVID19 WFH.

Cons

Not many. I am very encouraged by the true commitment to diversity, equality and inclusion, as we all acknowledge we have work to do in this realm. And working on it we all are!

Pros

Great talents in the company Good perks

Cons

Product direction since the merger was seen as not in stone for a while which led to multiple customers and prospects wait for a while to decide what to do. Need better product differentiators compared to cloud first party offerings. Higher management is clearly moving to using lawyers to stop the flow of good people out the door

Pros

- Great rep, good resume builder - Good pay - Limitless learning experience - Challenging work - Support and dev teams are really tight and super responsive, giving the field workers the edge in agility and ultimately, client success. - Talented staff with a very focused goal

Cons

- Tough work-life balance - Field prep could be better - Turnover (do more to keep your staff please)

Pros

Cloudera has a culture of openness and transparency that is rare. Our executives entrust the employees with a wealth of information and strategic direction that enables us to fall in line with that vision. The teams are generally quite collaborative, and I believe it is easy to establish a "name" for yourself among peers and other teams if you put forth the extra effort. The company has enough funding to think long-term rather than worrying about every up and down on the day-to-day.

Cons

Extremely long hours, and many weekends worked. It is the cost of being in a new, cutting-edge field where you have to put in extra hours to stay ahead of the clients and the competition.

Pros

Good compensation and benefits. The technology stack is something you can really get behind. The technical support staff are brilliant.

Cons

Very difficult tech to sell. The company is ridiculously process-rich. Even though the company seems to want to keep staff, there seems to be a high level of turn-over. Micro-management happens a lot.
