Pros

They are hot in the market right now. Pay is good. Flexible working hours. You will work a lot more than 10 hours on any given day. However, for the most part, the when and where is flexible.

Cons

The worst Human Resources department and management I have ever seen. Easily the most unhealthy food in the office canteens. If you are vegan or paleo, god help you. Worse, if you are an IBS sufferer. You are completely screwed because if you are at an event, you will not be accommodated and you will not be reimbursed either. I had to carry my own food for events and for all travel. None of that was reimbursed. Their expense policy is idiotic and their expense department is underqualified at best. Management is terrible. The word 'imbecile' comes to mind.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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