Pros

Great people in some regions, not so in others.

Cons

Poor to non existent culture, secretive, scared employees unwilling to talk to you, this is not a nice place to work. Very weird, inexperienced middle management types who you can tell have never managed staff before. Adversarial fear based culture.

Posted on behalf: I appreciate you taking the time to share feedback. I am disappointed to learn that your experience at Confluent was not a positive one. We have also made significant time and monetary investments in enablement, all with the goal of helping both our managers and individual contributors succeed in their roles while also developing in their careers. However, I would concur that we have a real opportunity to further invest in and enable our managers, particularly given our rapid rate of growth over the last five years. I’m happy to share that your feedback on management is not only heard but actively being implemented. We’ve recently hired a new leader of Enablement and GTM Performance and our People & Talent team are closing on the first-ever leader of Learning & Development. With respect to your feedback on culture, your comments are surprising and not issues I’ve personally experienced, heard directly, observed in our Employee Engagement survey nor on forums such as Glassdoor. That said, I’d earnestly like to learn more about your experience, particularly given our strong culture based upon mission, values, and team. Please reach out if you’re open to discussing your experience so we can do better in the future. Best, Roger Scott, Chief Customer Officer
