Pros

Can not think of any at this time.

Cons

Recruiters are extremely shady - during initial conversation, recruiter stated that the base salary range for the role was between X and Y, which was in my range so I agreed to proceed. Went through entire interview process and received offer letter, the base salary offered was 10% less than X. I counter offered at 10% above what was offered (hey, at least they would match X, right?) - nope, just received a "management does not want to spend more $ on this role" message after being ghosted initially. If this is how the cheerleaders of the company treat prospective employees, I am terrified as to how the real management of the company treat their employees. At least I dodged a bullet.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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