Cloudera

During the first 2 weeks, it was very intensive training with a mentor on job specifics.  Very complete and very thorough. My job was all about process and meeting the people who would be available to assist in the completion of my job.  
The next 2 weeks was supervised and monitored and I was completing the job tasks that would be doing there. I arrived during a time when everything was changing at the company so that made things changing each day. 
The people were fantastic and the role was still being defined so it would provide the most complete assistance for the customer.  It was a job with much responsibility but there was very little buy-in from support or sales, we were kind of an orphan group.  The hardest part of the job was to find the correct person to assist the customer. 
The benefits were fantastic, my cross-team co-workers and my team co-workers were all fantastic.  They completely blindsided us with a big lay-off the month before the world was put in the "shelter in place" mode.
The company was good, the people were great and the job was high demand with minimal corporate buy-in, unfortunately.

Cloudera has turned into a very difficult company to work for since the merger in early 2019. The Hortonworks/Clouder merger combined two completely different cultures creating significant challenges for employees. Executive leaders continue to leave the company, creating significant gaps in a consistent vision for employees.  Leadership in various departments has suffered, and combined teams have ongoing challenges with decision making and staff guidance. Processes and procedures lack maturity and, unfortunately, Cloudera refused to adopt many of the mature and refined processes already implemented at Hortonworks.  A once supportive culture led by amazing executives at Hortonworks, has turned into a horrible culture since merging with Cloudera.  Benefits are amazing, and plenty of free food, but that can't compensate for the lack of motivation to go to work every day.

We all work for a living - Cloudera makes sure their employees are treated with respect, have a good "work/life" balance, are nutritiously fed, and care that everyone has exercise at their fingertips.

The most enjoyable part of my day was my work. I felt like I made a very positive impact on the company - they sure did make one one me!

Cloudera's contributions to the open source community are vast. Having colleagues who care about community as well as one's own business is very refreshing. The Support team, of which I was a part, is one of the best teams I've ever worked with:  every employee a strong, conscientious contributor. Support management also was very strong, helpful, and thoughtful about managing growth. It was hard to stay staffed to meet the workload, however, which can be a morale hit.

Cloudera is going through some fast-paced changes, especially after going public in April 2018. It is very exciting to be here right now, as the global markets expand and shift at a quick pace. We are keeping up with that pace, and introducing valuable solutions for companies trying to grapple all their data.

It's a great feeling to know that I am part of this change and have no issues with any bumps along the way. The culture is really transparent and collaborative, and you are treated as an adult. Go Cloudera!

When I started at Cloudera there was a lot of upside potential. Now, in 2019, I don't see much opportunity with this company. 

The biggest problem at Cloudera is related to corporate culture. There are major issues in certain departments where there is zero meritocracy and advancement is completely based on how well you get along with management. 

If you are planning to work at Cloudera, be ready to work your political skills if you have any plans for advancement.

During the internship, other employees were eager to teach me about the company and technology. While I was learning how to execute the tasks given to me, the other employees were always ready to help find the next logical step or improvement. The most difficult part of the role was learning new technology from scratch and trying create something useful with it. The most enjoyable part of the role was the supportive community.

Everybody who works at Cloudera is Passionate and loves working their. It is a great working environment for not only interns from ages 15-18, but for adults as well. My manager was very supportive and if i had the opportunity to go back i would. I would recommend it to anybody interested in working for a large Corps.

The opportunity here is huge. The work/life balance philosophy here is real, not hype. Still - this is not a place for the complacent who just want to put in some hours and get a paycheck, nor for the faint of heart or instant-gratification types. The long view and daily executes are critical. 

Poor leadership visibility and direction to their teams.Great and welcoming environment, great leadership team and the best culture I have ever worked for!
