Pros

I've enjoyed the ability to grow technically on my field of expertise. I have had the freedom to choose what projects to work on. Management has given me the opportunity to grow and advance in my career. A great place to work, awesome atmosphere, freedom to work from any where. I'm challenged technically almost every day. Pre IPO!!

Cons

We're growing too fast, so there are lot of new faces around. I guess that's not too bad of a problem, but If I have to move my desk again, I wont be happy.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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