Pros

- Great culture, very exciting times in engineering with new and innovative products being built. - Great work/life balance, no pressure or feeling of "I need to stay super late to finish this to get ahead of peers so I can get my promo". Perks: Generally seem to be on the uptick, every all-hands announces something. - 401K match has been formalized, guaranteed $2k/year (see cons as well) - Lunch meetings get catered meals (see cons) - Good parental leave, just announced 20 weeks

Cons

- They spend a lot of money catering food for all the meetings, and then there are leftovers. They should just officially support catered lunch every day of the week. - 401K needs to be more competitive. We should match Facebook, Google, etc. That is the caliber of engineering we have.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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