Pros

-People who truly want to believe in the technology -People who work hard -Strong IPO -Many user groups and marketing events

Cons

-The worst managerial staff in technology -Easily the most under qualified HR and administrative staff -I can do this with open source technology -I left because the product is no longer competitive. As a result management is trying very hard to save and cut corners, making employees' lives miserable. Warning to anyone looking to join the sales team.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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