Open source spirit
Great open source oriented company. Full support is given for open source contributions and you can get Apache badges, committer, and PMC. At the same time, we need to work on proprietary software which also works like an in-house open source community. Linux, MBP desktops, big monitors, nice offices. A very nice workplace.
Apache Hadoop and related open source components are far from being perfect. Big legacy codebases, low coding quality, awful testing coverage and quality, spaghetti bloatware everywhere. Given all this, you have to work on complicated distributed problems and deliver reliable solutions. Not easy.
Cloudera gets money from support. Support is not easy because of the above. Escalations are raised every so often because customers are running into bugs all over the place.
In-house developments are also way overcomplicated and not maintained properly.
Overall: good money for challenging work.
