Pros

This is the best place to work. You must make your way into Splunk! Please bookmark this review so that other good reviews don't pile onto this one and share the link with your friends. Pros are as follow: Generous with bonuses and RSU: Bonuses are given out every quarter and another bigger chunk of bonus at the end of fiscal year Extremely friendly environment: Parties for almost all occasions and events Extremely generous with spot bonuses: High motivation to get things done goes along well with more bonuses Extremely well with retention: This is a place that has a very low attrition rate Liberal with promotion: Just like what the people from HR will tell you - always talk to your manager. That is so true! Just make sure that you constantly talk to your manager about your goals. Extremely well balanced work-life workplace: Don’t worry about working long hours because it’s all about work-life balance. You can expect a laid-back environment here. Extremely passionate leadership

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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