Pros

Good benefit, good RSU(used to be), very good work life balance

Cons

Splunk used to be a great company when I joined Splunk 5 years ago. But recently, too many politics around company, CTO after CTO, senior VPs after Senior VPs, things are getting worse and worse, a lot of good people left. There are bunch of Senior directors/directors who don't know how to create good products, instead they are very good at politics. It's very bad to see that Splunk is going to this way.

For this role spacifically, commission is capped so that's a bit of a bummer but the good thing is there are always Spiffs to go over the cap

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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