Pros

Great technology Huge market potential Good pay but without great benefits except RSU

Cons

Confluent has unfortunately taken a turn for the worse - the culture is no longer there and different "strategic" decisions are made every week - Now it needs more services and "solutions" - But what you forget is that with a sales cycle of 7+ months you can't overturn everything at any time. Wrong management decision Micro Sales Management Missing or insufficient onboarding One always wants too much and too fast Sales leadership is not qualified - super political

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.
