Pros

-Easy to meet quota when I worked there -Collaborative environment -Fun culture (at times)

Cons

The dynamic is so similar to that of being in college. Leadership will require you to complete homework like assignments and congratulate those that kiss a** rather than those that consistently meet quota. Extra points if you create a slide deck on a random process that really doesn't require documentation. When you're doing well they'll "promote" you laterally with no pay increase.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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