Pros
Confiant has a tight-knit team of people who are a pleasure to work with. Even the original founder of the company, who is now an executive, is still hands-on-keyboard with the security and engineering teams on a daily basis. He's an extremely talented individual who I respect deeply and is one of my top role models in the industry. The rest of the company is an absolutely incredible bunch of people who, for the first time in my career (I've been working remote for over fifteen years) I actually looked forward to seeing and meeting with in person, and would try to make every in-person meeting, even the optional ones, because I loved to have face time with the people I worked with. The flexibility Confiant gives you to live your life and have your personal time is to a level I've never experienced before. At least on my team, as long as the work got done, you were free to live your normal life and balance it with your work life in the manner most convenient to you. Benefits are great, work-life balance is amazing, and they really respect your personal life and are happy to work around and with any issues both professional and personal to ensure an extremely pleasant work environment.
Cons
The executive staff and marketing. Let's start with the executive staff. There was a period where there were a couple of, in the words of not just myself, nepotism hires. One of them stayed there around two years, maybe a little longer, producing nothing except for a pile of employee resignations. He was incompetent, rude, and sometimes downright offensive. He was kept on the executive staff for so long because he was a life-long friend of the CEO. Another friend of the CEO was hired a while after that, and he actually seemed to be doing a great job, but probably to save face, was let go at the same time as the first person mentioned. Bad decisions all around, and this is just the worst of it - there were other poor choices made in executive staffing in the time I spent at Confiant that I think really stagnated the company. Now let's talk about marketing. Marketing likes to insert themselves everywhere, even places they really don't belong. Highly technical reports and blog posts by the security and engineering teams are reviewed by marketing to put a marketing spin on them. I understand the need for marketing, a company needs to make money to pay their employees and continue functioning, but marketing sin is not necessary on a forty page report on a malvertising threat actor that includes in-depth code analysis, tools and code to be used to combat the threat actor, and more. Hackers do not want to read marketing and in fact many, myself included, will close the page at the first sign of a marketing post disguised as (or turned into) marketing slop. This is unnecessary and an insult to the researchers and writers of the report as well as its readers.
