Pros

Great company facilities, perks, pay and culture. Leadership that genuinely cares about people in word and in deed. Splunk has great technology that is broadly applicable with a huge TAM. They are bringing in people who know how to make the transition from 1-5 billion/year run rate and putting in the processes to make it happen.

Cons

Rapid growth means change and some people are not comfortable with change. Especially old-school, anarchist types (which basically founded the company). The dynamic that gets you to 1 billion is not the same dynamic that gets you to 5 billion.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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