Know your manager and your team. They will make or break you. - Sales Splunk Employee Review

Applies to U.S. teams only: 1. CURRENT Federal and other geographic teams are not the same DNA as SF HQ. Serious issues with leadership and culture. 2. If the hiring manager is not actively recruiting you, don't bother applying. The position is filled. 3. Apart from New Hire Sales Training, new hires will find it extremely hard to fit in and obtain sincere support from peers. Trust your gut. Watch your back. 4. Your successes are your own. Your "areas of improvement" are often snap judgement calls from peers that don't even know you. These perceived weaknesses will be broadcast wide to anyone that will listen, and will be held against you for the rest of your career at Splunk. 5. You will not learn from your direct manager. 6. HR will hurt you. 7. Internal promotion process is a travesty. See #3, #4.
