Minpunten
The culture has declined over time but always been problematic. Confluent is not the type of place that rewards identifying risks and problems. There is a huge emphasis on following the party line and never questioning decisions or paths forward. Top performers are labeled as a troublemaker when they try and warn the organization of customer problems or potential issues with product or approach. You either drink the coolaid and shut up, or you can spend your entire career here watching the "yes man" types get ahead. Furthermore, the company is morphing into a more Oracle sales model due to new leadership and pushing out the elite talent that got Confluent to where it is today to bring in friends from the past.
