Pros

RSUs, Office buildings/Sofa, Food, Product. Some customers are loyal.

Cons

Lots of wrong hires in management/executive positions as well as at IC level. Management lacks the knowledge of industry/customers/markets but try very hard to show otherwise. Many leaders are not open to new ideas or ways of doing things. Lacks an environment of trust or collaboration. Micromanagement at some orgs.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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