Pros

- talented and capable colleagues, good bosses - as long as the work gets done, you have a lot of freedom regarding how you do your work, very flexible - good WLB, no RTO mandates (so far)

Cons

- personally perceived lack of clarity from leadership and management regarding the direction. AI seems to be the solution to every problem - increased bureaucracy and red tape, processes take longer, communication is not as good as it was before, and it feels more difficult to "just get stuff done" (the typical downsides of a big corporation) - personally perceived increase of office politics in higher management

For this role spacifically, commission is capped so that's a bit of a bummer but the good thing is there are always Spiffs to go over the cap

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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
