    Pros

    The culture is great. I work a diverse group that are located around the globe. Everyone is really helpful and supportive. We have great work/life balance and especially love Unplug days. It is an amazing benefit that not many companies offer. I have been able to explore opportunities to get involved in other areas in the company to broaden my experience.

    Cons

    Would like to be able to travel more and meet some of my team in person, but other than that, not complaints.

    Could be much better

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Good pay and decent benefits, flexible schedule, product has potential, decent install base but struggling to keep it. Has some capabilities that nobody else can match.

    Cons

    Cloudera is viewed as a legacy company and doesn't seem to be providing new or innovative product offerings. No clear direction on where the company is headed and lack of vision from leadership. Difficult to implement any solutions and time to value is slow. Current hiring freeze, even for positions that people left, indicate that the company doesn't expect much growth in the next year. Current company narrative and goals do not align to the actions they are taking.

    Thank you so much for your feedback. We are happy with the positive aspects of the company that you mentioned in your review! Regarding your comments on products, it’s important that we listen to our customers and that we meet their needs to Run & Reinvent, and innovation is key to that work. We are doing everything we can to push the needle and this year being named ‘Gartner's customer choice for Hybrid Data Platform’ shows that our efforts are paying off. However, saying that we need to continue to be focused on innovation and continuous improvement.

    Pros

    - As a remote employee it has been important to me to feel a sense of community and connection with my colleagues. Cloudera does an amazing job of helping it's remote employees feel connected. - Easy access to resources for professional and personal growth including free Udemy access, weekly brown bags, etc. - Cloudera definitely promotes work life balance for employees, an amazing perk would be the company wide Unplug Days.

    Cons

    Pros

    I have been with Cloudera for over a year and a half and have already been presented an opportunity by my manager regarding opportunity to move into a growth role. My management is always creating opportunties for us to get more involved in the organization outside of my own team. We are well compensated in comparison to the market here. All my coworkers are friendly and helpful, no matter where they are located in the world

    Cons

    More opportunties for travel to meet the team
