Cloudera

Nice office, good amenities, nice coworkers.

• Some people in management positions do not have the concept of work-life balance.
• There is a sense of competition rather than team bonding or working together.
• Personal career development is a myth here.

The kind of culture being promoted in the company seems like it is designed for only high-functioning workaholics, with minimum to none responsibilities in personal life.

If you have a life outside work, seem to be taking care of it, and are not a "star" employee, then in plain words – "you are not good enough"!

As you can imagine, this makes it hell for working mothers who find the superman culture not only difficult but downright a disgusting place to work at. You are constantly being judged here; there is no interest in building employees' career skills, and you just end up feeling demotivated and burnt out.

Cloudera's culture was nice before it merged with Hortonworks. (A bad fish makes the pond dirty).

My advice to management: Don't just think about your best performers at a given time. Spend enough time on teams and make the work environment accommodating enough to have a team of happy and good performers.
