Pros

Nice people, decent snacks, fun

Cons

There is absolutely zero opportunity for career growth at splunk. Managers are immature and ill equip to have career conversations. When you talk to HRBPs they also have zero tools to show you how to get to the next level int our career. The company prefers to buy talent instead of grow it. Come to Splunk if you want a career dead end!

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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