Pros: You can learn a lot from smart colleagues.

Cons: Stock price was not increasing as expected.

Pros: It's been a little over a month here, and Cloudera's been very good for me so far. The facilities and the onsite perks for employees are very good and are better than most, if not all, valley companies. The culture of work is very open, and people are willing to help you onboard as well as spend time handling critiques when seeing things with a new perspective.

Cons: Growing fast, a lot of hiring across all areas, so there are certainly some growing pains with communication and information dissemination. This can lead to a feeling of not being directly connected to the whole, especially if you are new and haven't waded through the rivers of Hadoop prior.

Pros: Plug-off holidays: These are extra holidays, usually on Fridays and Mondays, to provide an extended weekend. Sometimes you get a Friday and the next Monday as a holiday. Usually 1-2 every month. Just because there was a plug-off holiday does not mean when you come back to work, you have to cope up for that day's work. No, you come afresh; you start afresh. Awesome team support: All the team members work as a family. There is minimal pressure and maximal support. Great work-life balance: Apart from the plug-off holidays, there are no set working hours. You don't need to work 9-5 every day. You can work whatever time of the day you are comfortable at. Just get the work done. Diversity: There are people from many countries in each team. So, no matter when you decide to work, it's highly likely that someone else is working with you. This also feels great. Extra perks: Free meals, cab reimbursement, and various celebrations with cakes are all fun.

Cons: The company could utilize a little more branding.
