Pros

Great perks if you work at corporate Equity given to almost everyone

Cons

*Culture and Values are talked about a lot, but not evident in the field. *Equity has created golden handcuffs for anyone who has been with Splunk for more than 3-4 years, while the culture is changing to that of other big companies (i.e. Salesforce) - more people would be leaving if it wasn't for this * If you leave, don't expect to be paid

With growth will come some inevitable changes, but our values are more than just words on a page that change every few years—they’re what make Splunk, well…Splunk. It’s disappointing to hear that you didn’t see this reflected in all areas of the business during your time here, but we appreciate the honest feedback and are committed to ensuring that we stay true to our culture no matter how quickly or how much we continue to grow.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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