Pros

Remote work Somewhat decent pay

Cons

This is by far the most disorganized, chaotic company I have ever seen. No one at the management or director level seems to have any idea how to run a department or team. IC’s are regularly asked to work late into the night or over the weekend to make up for leadership’s lack of adequate planning or strategy. Irrational and unproductive legacy behaviors are untouchable and routinely justified as “just the way we’ve always done it”. Bottlenecks and unnecessary bureaucracy run rampant while fundamentally flawed systems continue to remain broken because skilled individuals aren’t allowed to address any real issues. Everyone is so focused on execution that no one can see the very foundation crumbling beneath them. The company is being run into the ground as C-suites all bury their heads in the sand and pretend it’s just “growing pains” or that the macroeconomy is to blame.

For this role spacifically, commission is capped so that's a bit of a bummer but the good thing is there are always Spiffs to go over the cap

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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