Cloudera

Pros:

• The people. The main reason I've stayed for over 3 years.
• Market opportunity. There's a lot of growth potential.
• Engineering leadership. Overall very good. The head of engineering "gets it"; how to build quality software and not accumulate a bunch of tech debt.
• Plenty of interesting challenges. Lots of opportunities to make a big impact.

The open-source software stack can be chaotic to build an enterprise product out of. On the other hand, there's plenty of opportunity to be active in Apache communities.

It is always a bumpy ride, but many still expect a smooth ride.
