Back to ReviewsCurrent Employee I really enjoyed working with Confluent pre IPO. After the IPO we became very concerned with profit margin. As the ecoomy and markets began to tank we became even more focused on cost cutting.
We were told by the CEO in late 2022 there would be no layoffs. We had enough cash. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. 4 months later we had layoffs. We went from small start mentality of investment and growth to a large corporate profit focused mentality so fast we all go whiplash.
After the layoffs we had a sales kick off with a guest speaker from the Blue Angels, who's motto was "Glad to be here." It was so ironic the whole audience of sales professionals fell into a stunned silence.
The sales team for the most part was left alone, but that's changing... no pipe = no job as we lost 2 reps and an SE in our region after we were told the layoffs were done.
Not safe here, but still pays well and I still have a job... for now. We don't believe anything leadership says about comp plans either. Retire quota with PS? Nope... you misunderstood us. No, we understand.
