TOXIC Culture

Pros

They pay you well. The product is in demand.

Cons

Myself, many freinds and those ive met over the years that have worked at confluent all have the same consensus. The culture is highly toxic and very political. They have unstable GTM approach always changing critical tools, processes and org structure. Work somewhere else.
