Pros

Great product with happy customers.

Cons

Some of the new senior hires (e.g. Marketing) have completely changed the culture of the organization. The company now reeks of politics and bro culture that is unlike what is was before - mass exodus from the marketing team. The leadership is toxic.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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