Pros
Any pro was pre-merger with Cloudera. Hortonworks valued individual contribution, problem-solving, and teamwork. It was a fresh approach to enterprise software, and they hired smart people.
Cons
Cloudera was a dinosoaur. Post-merger they were a giant bureaucracy where individual team leads had carved out fiefdoms and done everything to block new ideas that might endanger their personal status. Cloudera folks actually said at meetings " this is Cloudera, not Hortonworks -- we're doing things the Cloudera way". Every Cloudera department uniformly passed the buck, avoided any leadership, and refused to take positions or responsibility, much less even show enough respect to understand their own internal audience or who was asking them questions. The contracts team was led by a woman who thrived on her own sense of status. I don't know how many of those people remain now, but they were all disasters. Senior leadership did nothing to represent the people integrating from the merger, exclusively rewarding legacy Cloudera employees with promotions, raises, and stock and denigrating anyone who came from Hortonworks, all the while Cloudera leadership was driving the stock well below ground. Management refused to allocate workloads equitably, in my case giving me 3 times the workload of some of my colleagues. Senior management spent most of its time out playing golf or test driving new cars instead of advocating for their own staff, others saying "don't quit" but offering no real support. Cloudera was (is?) an exercise in gross incompetence.
