Pros

Splunk used to be a great company to work. Agile, innovative, fun, great leadership - we're not that company anymore. Only other pro is our new building - it's pretty sweet.

Cons

Toxic leadership - especially within my engineering org. Poor decision making at the senior executive level. I don't feel like my manager or team lead has my best, or the company's best interest in mind - it seems a lot of the decisions are ego driven. Salaries aren't competitive in engineering either - most people are just staying until their fully vested. Perks could be improved - no cafeteria, gym, 401k etc --- Splunk will surely start to lose talent soon.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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