Pros

Open source Kafka's PMF is great and agnostic of industry.

Cons

Streaming will always be an afterthought for most companies. Race to the bottom on pricing most of the time with external tooling being more appealing to customers than the integrated offerings.

Pros

Great product, strong leadership, and talented people across the organization. Excellent place to learn enterprise SaaS sales and grow quickly as an SDR. Supportive team culture, good training, and a fast-paced environment with many opportunities to work with large global accounts. Strong compensation and career development opportunities for high performers.

Cons

Since the IBM acquisition, there has been uncertainty around the future structure and career path for SDRs. Communication could be more transparent regarding organizational changes, promotion opportunities, and long-term strategy for the SDR organization.
