Pros

I wish I could say something positive about my experience with Splunk but it seems that the only thing this company has going for it is the legacy customers they're managing to hold onto. And frankly, I have no idea how they're even managing that.

Cons

The leadership at Splunk is a textbook example of incompetence. I've never seen a more disconnected and disorganized group of people who seem to have no idea what it takes to run a successful business in today's world. It's like watching a ship sink in slow motion, and everyone on board is just bailing water with teaspoons. The management team fares no better. They are utterly terrible at executing projects and seem to lack even basic understanding of the concept of teamwork. It's a wonder how they managed to get into their positions in the first place. The company culture is plagued with finger-pointing and blame games, making it impossible for employees to feel supported and motivated. When it comes to modernizing the product, Splunk is stuck in the dark ages. Despite the rapidly evolving technological landscape, the company refuses to adapt or innovate. Their product is outdated, cumbersome, and can't keep up with the demands of today's market. They've had countless opportunities to evolve and improve, but each time they've stubbornly clung to their antiquated ways.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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