Pros
First and foremost is the culture - Led & enabled by the CEO, it permeates the entire company. It's an incredible feat to pull this off in the midst of a merger of rivals. Never perfect but the synergies of the two (now one) companies are undeniable in the market and with the end-users. The technology is highly complimentary and with great people throughout the organizations, the real speed, purpose, and efficiencies are still to be fully realized. Having the founders so intimately involved with the business is a great sign that Cloudera is still moving in the right direction, innovating, and disrupting markets.
Cons
There will continue to be bumps over time as the New Cloudera picks up speed and those will need to be addressed quickly. Not every executive decision was great but in all fairness, those seem to be getting resolved quickly. Back office & HR systems will continue to be a challenge. HR leadership is too disconnected leaving exec leadership to pick up the slack - that needs to get resolved so that the CEO and Founders aren't carrying too much of the load.
