Pros
The people here are top notch - smart, kind, hardworking, transparent and focused The product and potential is incredible and stands apart from what's on the market. Cloudera has the best folks in the industry and some of the smartest technical sellers there are. Cloudera has a distributed workforce and does virtual remarkably well with tools to communicate AND a culture at HQ that is flexible to other timezones (this is actually hard to find, especially at tech companies and any stage start-up). It's a really exciting time to be there with a focus on growth and scale - complex, dynamic and meaningful business problems exist at all levels in every business function. What more can I say!?
Cons
With major growth come expected challenges - this is a later stage start-up with a range of folks on the team with varying backgrounds. There are different challenges in new markets and it will be important to learn from more developed markets. With growth also comes the need for strong management so they have a lot ahead including investing in manager development and scaling. Not cons per say - just the reality of being successful and moving along the trajectory of growth. To continue to be competitive for talent they will need to be very thoughtful and open about where they are investing (perks, culture etc).
