Pros

Splunk used to be a great place to work. You can get lucky and get assigned to a team and accounts that will get you a seven figure W2. Or not. Splunk tries to throw extra benefits at employees to stop attrition (but people are leaving in droves). If you don't want to work, it's fine, just take indefinite medical leave, or just don't show up (they don't know how to fire or performance manage people). Middle management does a great job of making their numbers look good. Even if they don't have any impact on the business or the other teams you are supposed to support.

Cons

Extremely Toxic workplace. Leadership embodies the Peter Principle. A Players have been forced out, replaced by B, then C and now D players. Attrition exceeding 100%. Management is a revolving door, if you even get to have a manager. You will never get a performance review, raise, or any consideration unless you hit 200% of your target or above. There are entire teams who deliver no results, but their 'numbers' look great so they keep getting promoted.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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