Pros

Great product, helpful HR, fairly competitive pay, decent benefits, some helpful co-workers.

Cons

Management. I can't speak about the entire company, just the managers/directors I personally encountered. The worst I've ever had. Also, the product training could use improvement. When you're taking classes with a group of others and the general consensus is "I wouldn't feel comfortable in the field", that's a problem.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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