Pros

Great pay, the best health benefits you'll ever have, and teammates you wouldn't trade for the world. Confluent only hires the best of the best. Amazing resume builder and brand to have on your resume. I have learned so much during my time here.

Cons

Constant pressure by management. You can feel how much stress they are under at any given time. It is very much felt across the board. Even when you are doing well (because you're picking up slack), NEVER any communication on what is going on, despite monthly all hands meetings.

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.
