Pros

Solid technology, product works as advertised. Solid install base and user community. Offices stacked with plenty of refreshments and snacks. Free lunches on Mondays and free breakfast in Fridays.

Cons

Grew too fast which resulted in the erosion of the team oriented, startup culture. A purely hierarchical corporate environment now, management does not take kind to employees that may have different approaches or ideas. Some managers are entirely ego driven and vindictive... will poll other employees to get negative information on a targeted individual; for the purposes of generating a bad review. Once the paper trail gets rolling, including goals that are unrealistic to obtain in a specific timeframe, it's a matter of time before that individual is forced out.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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