Pros

Would have had a lot to say about a year ago.

Cons

Management don't have any idea of where they are heading. Too many acquizitions, reorgs and "stealthy" lay offs to not tip off retained employees and affect already low stock price. Work is like weekend college assignment. Only a bunch of meaningless improvs to current products that get portrayed as "really cool" features. PM are more worried about which pub to crawl then about their products.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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