Pros

good product leader in its space good stock based comp

Cons

Bad management Management is a revolving door at Splunk. Their entire C suite has left/fired in last several months - CIO, CISO, Chief Finance Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, Chief Digital Officer, Chief Product Officer, Chief Humar Resource Officer Lot of VPs, Senior Directors, Directors left recently, were let go or pushed out by the new management with no fault of their own. Lot of Nepotism. All the senior management were pushed out voluntarily or involuntarily so that new senior management can bring their own. I have never seen so much churn at management level in my entire career, especially when the company is doing so well. If you're in management position, keep in mind that this is a revolving door and keep your backup plan ready. I've heard many Directors/Sr Directors were getting bullied until they left. And they laid off others who sticked around ignoring all the bullied behavior. You wouldn't stick around long at this company the way CEO and Senior Management operates.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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