Pros

Great technology, the best platform offering on the market. So many wonderful hard working individuals that give 200% everyday, amazing culture- the best In my career. This company could be amazing at every level.

Cons

Political, back-stabbing bro culture. Its basically a fraternity with income and some perks. You are either in or your are out based on your abilities to navigate which managers are close to the execs versus your skill-set or experience. HR talks the talk, they are not supportive, engaged or neutral. The term fire at will is used regularly and without substantiation.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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