Pros

Product: many many large companies have no idea what they would do without the ability to search through their data using Splunk People: I've met some of the brightest people while at Splunk. I've really appreciated growing with them. The comp packages attract some of the most strategic thinkers. Comp: one of the highest paying tech companies in the bay area Culture: Splunkers have some of the best dad jokes I've ever seen. If you don't have a sense of humor, its going to be a rough time.

Cons

Typical large org politics at times. Lots of migration work to make sure we are a cloud first company brings large challenges.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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