RecommendsNegative OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Hortonworks (Less than a year)
Pros
Pioneers in the big data world - so you get to learn the technology before anyone else could. Great colleagues - if you are working in a bigger team but mostly you will be engaging with clients. Insurance is free.
Cons
Not many cons. Lot of your work style depends on client whom you work with, But If you are not happy with a client you can move to other one easily.

Pros
Fast growing startup, publicly held which made it more interesting

Field sales management seemed clueless to the realities. Terrible decision making when promoting managers that aren't qualified. Worst manager I ever worked for, 20+ years in the industry.
Advice to Management
Listen to your employees
