Pros

Splunk sells great products - helps ease the selling process for SEs! Good benefits and good overall rapport on the SE teams. The starting salary is excellent if you're an incoming SE, the salary bumps are not as expected once you're settled in your role.

Cons

Not all managers are created equal. If you are stuck with a bad manager, you'll have a bad year until you find a different team or manager. It can be difficult to get promoted. Pay could be better.

Pros

Great compensation and time off. No micromanagement. Great product that's known for its strength and solid brand

Cons

Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan. Competitors have caught up and sometimes surpassed Splunk leaving Splunkers looking for a new strategy; very small territories, incompetent hires in some management roles
