Pros

Amazing benefits. Maternity and paternity leave are 4 months PAID. 4 weeks paid vacation to start. Holidays you are off for two weeks PAID on company time! Company wide travels, great events, happy hours, end of quarter parties, holiday parties, etc. plethora of food and drinks stocked in every office.

Cons

If you are not in sales, expect to be under paid. I had been with the company for two years, had a lot of experience, we hired a receptionist(male) to assist me with duties. He was hired making 20,000 more than I (female) was doing far less duties than I did. They do not fully look into situations with employees. It’s hear say. I’ve watched people get fired over the silliest things and hard working employees get let go for no reason but because a manager simply did not like them. While other employees took advantage of splunk, the manager liked them so let things slide and never reprimanded them.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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