Pros

Great product market fit. Confluent is clear leader in data streaming space, and data streaming offers clear differentiation in market. Incredible customer base.

Cons

Lots of teething problems in getting to enterprise/strategic maturity. Other functions such as ProServ and Customer Success lacking the leadership or talent to support strategic transformations. Systems Integrator relationships almost non-existent, too. Limited career progression that I observed.

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.
