Pros

- There are some really sharp people at Confluent. If you are proactive in learning from your peers, you can grow a lot as a professional and build out a strong network - The pay is good compared to the market

Cons

- There was so much organizational change this year that I don't think any department has fully recovered from it yet. Some seemed like a good change, and others just made no sense (STREAMING PROJECTS). - The levels of constant inspection at this company border on the absurd. It's almost a miracle that anything actually gets done with the limited time we have outside of inspection meetings that we have to attend and inspection materials / processes we have to follow

Pros

Remote work makes it easy to have a personal life. Not often very busy. Great early RSUs although refresh grants get lower and lower every year.

Cons

All of the leaders who knew what they were doing or who had any vision for the company have left. Chief People Officer just left after company survey results came back. They are not good. Lots of in-fighting in teams and between teams. They just move problem managers to other teams and give them more reports. Leaders do not agree on priorities. People are getting burned out in short time because everything is a fire. Recognition is just a dangling carrot with no substance. There was vision when I started here. It went out the door with some great leaders in 2022.
