Pros

Confluent has a good engineering culture with plenty of interesting problems to solve, and smart and kind colleagues to solve them with.

Cons

Pay is a lot less than it used to be, and the company is becoming much more stingy in a lot of ways, such as mainly hiring engineers in Canada and India. There is a lot of pressure to keep up growth and prioritize product innovation at the expense of developer productivity.
