Pros

Splunk used to be great to work for, it was innovative, disruptive and fun. Catered lunches and breakfasts were great. Snacks and stocked kitchens and everything in between. Old brick building was cool. There was opportunity to grow at first but things took a turn really fast. Salaries and compensation were competitive.

Cons

Very political, toxic environment. Only a select few get to grow within the company and are allowed to expand their horizons, others are kept down or even stabbed in the back. Favoritism played a big role in promotions. I wish things had been different.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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