Pros

The majority of the people that work here are smart, dedicated, very genuine, and usually have a great sense of humor. The product is awesome and the customer base almost fanatical, which makes working them a blast. The logistics: - an actual, honest, and transparent drive for diversity in the workplace - great SF office with stocked kitchen on every floor - lots of autonomy - lots of time off - generous RSU re-ups - generous bonuses that are available to everyone (dependent upon company and individual performance) - bar on the top floor - spontaneous parties - cool schwag

Cons

There is a lot of organizational change happening which is difficult to navigate for those that have been here to watch the company grow from 300 to 3000 employees in just a few, short years.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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