Pros

- 40% revenue growth at a $2B+ scale! (Not so common folks) - Game-changing product - Solid Leadership at the top - GREAT pay - July 4th and December Holiday weeks off every year - Every opportunity to learn if you want to

Cons

- Growth and change are hard. Lot's of details change quarter to quarter. (This is the price we pay for one of the biggest enterprise tech opportunities on Earth right now, FYI) - When you hire 1,000 people in a year, some will inevitably be the wrong fit. We are feeling this now. - Hard to fire under-performers - There are a lot of entitled people who don't like to work hard or better themselves. It is hard to fire these people. (See bullet above)

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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