Cloudera

It is very different from normal places. You will learn a lot.

There are a lot of learning opportunities.

Coworkers are generally nice.

There are six to seven layers of managers for a company of one thousand developers, and the middle layers don't do much. You will have a direct manager, and that's about it.

There is little to no vision or long-term planning. There are frequent releases; yet, every release is a hurried, "drop everything" job.

There are very little career growth possibilities. Management doesn't like promoting, and even when they would be game, it's an artificially long and painful HR process.

There are no yearly reviews and salary adjustments. Unless you really start banging the table, you'll be stuck with the same position, same salary.

It's a global, remote company, but without actual tools, planning, or accommodations for this. Frequently, you would have to work with people with six to eight hours of time zone difference.

Start acting like this was an actual company. Do your job.
