Pros

Good Pay. Good Teammates. Would love to give higher rating but got unceremoniously laid off.

Cons

Ineffective Leadership. Too much politics. Laid off a good number of good people while they are continuing to hire outside people. If you have a job my advice would be to pass, If you don't have one take it. You might have a good experience but I wouldn't get too comfortable.

For this role spacifically, commission is capped so that's a bit of a bummer but the good thing is there are always Spiffs to go over the cap

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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