Pros

Product still works pretty well compared to legacy technology sold by other vendors. If you are an "A" player in sales and have an "A" player account list, you can earn a lot of money.

Cons

Product org, in combination with strategy team, has missed the boat. Should have industry specific solutions by now for healthcare, financial services, life sciences that emphasizes what you can do with the data, not just collecting the data and figuring it out on your own. Why not a Splunk MSSP to drive another revenue channel? Still basically selling the same capabilities that we were several years ago. If you did not come from salesforce.com, be prepared to be painted with the "you don't know anything" brush, given that's where so much of the leadership has come from. Culture, whatever that really means, is 100% different than it was a few years ago.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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