Pros

- Confluent makes it a priority to hire "amazing employees" (their own words) and they don't fall short in this regard - Wonderful company culture made stronger by weekly happy hours, monthly birthday celebrations, and other pop-up events (espresso bars, wedding showers, etc) - Flexible work schedule and unlimited PTO - Unlimited snacks and drinks as well as catered lunches Monday-Thursday and Friday - on Thursdays, we are encouraged to go out with colleagues and have lunch on Confluent's tab - Employer-paid health insurance - Confluent is a fast-growing startup with a positive business outlook - Confluent sees itself as #oneteam and senior management and individual contributors truly buy into the company's mission

Cons

- A company that doubles in size in the span of a year will always have its growing pains - A truly privileged problem - health insurance plans offered aren't the best (but it's free, so can't complain too much!)

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.
