Cloudera Reviews

Big data is still here to stay. Good place to learn and gain experience on big data, modern data management platform.

Cons

Big competition in cloud and from more nimble companies.

Pros

Good company to work with, great culture and value

Cons

Recruiting process is too long

Pros

Cloudera is a great place to work as an engineer. I can see that the company really takes care of their employees and I feel a sense of loyalty because of this. Work-life Balance - From unlimited PTO to "unplug" days that force everyone to take time away from work; Cloudera really does "walk-the-talk" in ensuring there is a sustainable work-life balance. Peers - I have been fortunate to work with lots of smart people at Cloudera that are experts in numerous disciplines. You'll probably work with the person who wrote the book on subject X at some point Management - Management focuses on transparency and regularly makes themselves available to answer questions from rank-and-file employees. Management seems to genuinely care about the employee experience. Growth - The company is reorienting itself to head-off competitors and the ever-evolving competitive landscape. This can be chaotic, but also provides interesting challenges and opportunities to learn and grow. If you want to engineer big data products, Cloudera is the place to be.

Cons

Lacking Clear Direction - A clear direction is rarely shared by everyone. It doesn't feel like we as a company are all focused on moving in the same direction. Major initiatives do not seem well-organized and can be chaotic. Remote First? - Cloudera is trying to evolve into a remote-first company (as many others are too), but not making enough progress in this area. Home Office - There is minimal assistance in maintaining a home office for remote workers. The company only provides a laptop and a one-time stipend which won't even cover the cost of a desk. You'll have to pay for everything else out-of-pocket. Open Source - I used to enjoy contributing to open source projects as part of my day-to-day job. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case just due to the company's product strategy.

Pros

keep improving the consistency and productivity

Cons

not too much to share

Pros

Some of the best engineers that I’ve ever worked with are here, making it very easy to sell.

Cons

Not too sure where the product will be in the coming years.
