Pros
Good pay, free food on Monday’s and Fridays.
Cons
Splunk has the most cliquey gossipy and immature culture I have ever seen in my career. If you are not in the “in” crowd, you will be forgotten about. Leadership only cares about the frat bros and good looking girls. For sales reps, it is so painfully micromanaged, leading to day in and day our anxiety and under appreciation. They use a software to stalk all of your activity....ALL of it. I used to feel like a person here, now I’m a data point, a forecast number, and nothing more. Despite three years of service, if I left tomorrow, there would be no mention of it and there would be someone new in my seat the next day. Don’t let the “Great Places to Work” articles fool you, the aesthetic perks like free food and the game rooms that no one even uses are what regularly land them in those ranks. Work morale is painfully low here. Do yourself a favor, and stop chasing the big name companies like splunk and find a place that will appreciate you and treat you like a human. No salary is worth your misery, ever.
