Pros

nothing, maybe reasonable compensation but that it

Cons

In the last 1.5 years, the company becoming very hard - politics, all of Oracle management are going there, no strategy, hiring people without any reason (for small markets) just because they got a mission to engage. Product very problematic in the market, mainly because we are competing with the Free OS that we are also maintaining. R&D commitments are only on paper, you cant manage anything based on that and not commit on any roadmap to the customers. Really - run away from going to Confluent, this company is not in a good road for the future

Pros

Great product, strong leadership, and talented people across the organization. Excellent place to learn enterprise SaaS sales and grow quickly as an SDR. Supportive team culture, good training, and a fast-paced environment with many opportunities to work with large global accounts. Strong compensation and career development opportunities for high performers.

Cons

Since the IBM acquisition, there has been uncertainty around the future structure and career path for SDRs. Communication could be more transparent regarding organizational changes, promotion opportunities, and long-term strategy for the SDR organization.
