Pros

Confluent is a very unique company, pioneering real time data streaming. It is still very new and has not completely taken off in Europe, lots to build out and direct managers are very helpful and involved. Remote work which is great and ability to go into the office whenever you want even if its only for an hour

Cons

Inbound leads are basically 0. If you inherit churned accounts you will not be able to make IAC, not a lot of reps understand how we get paid

Pros

- Remote Work - Great flexibility with working from other locations - Unlimited PTO - Competitive compensation - Great health benefits - Autonomy to choose your projects and work, minimal micro-management

Cons

- No 401K match (IBM does have some retirement contributions) - My org was very unstable and there was lots of restructuring / silent lay-offs/ firings that kept happening all year round. Constant pressure to perform - Very few people were driven and motivated. Many were simple coasting - IBM Acquisition is going to ruin the culture. Young, hip Mountain View tech company getting acquired by large legacy consulting company is a big cultural mismatch. Huge round of layoffs already done, expect more. Lot of voluntary exists since the acquisition announcement. Most people are not motivated enough anymore to work since pay, benefits, culture all will be eroded because of the acquisition. Not a lot of clarity on how the org will continue. Current leadership will not stay for long - Some of the senior leaders were un-inspirational and lack-lustre
