Pros

If you like to binge drink, there is free beer; and like-minded company at least 2 evenings a week. Free food, some of it healthy. The CEO knows what he's doing; the company has done very well, and AFAIK will continue to.

Cons

Very noisy environment (in HQ); everyone ends up wearing noise-cancellation headphones.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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