Pros

Fantastic product that customers love. RSU and stock purchase plan Improved benefits

Cons

Massive hiring of new sales people and sales managers who bring their negative culture with them. Deploying a purposeful saturation sales model where territories are reduced significantly and raising quotas. The majority of sales people will not make their quotas due to reduced opportunity. It's the Salesforce.com sales model. A lot of talk about the old culture, but don't practice it. Little to no chance of being promoted to sales management. They prefer to hire outside.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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