Pros

Product is good, RSU program is great, healthcare good, but not much else.

Cons

New hire training is torture, by having you watch videos until your eyes bleed. Take all kinds of quarterly video trainings and tests. Terrible work life balance, with hazing and management who is not supporting you when you bring it up. Working at Splunk was the worst experience I have had in my career and would not recommend anyone to join Splunk. The product is great, just some of the people there are not good people.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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