Pros

Lots of really well-respected tech folks work here in the Seattle office, they can be great resources! Getting software for development purposes was made easy through their IT ticketing system. Cool software to work on, C++ codebase fully available with DVCS, in addition to SDKs and other items. View of the space needle! Atlassian is great for agile and they use it.

Cons

Some people a bit intense "omg you don't know exactly everything about this monolithic idea I've been inventing over the past 3 months?" A lot of distributed system problems coming up, but it's actually a plus because internet infrastructure is something we must all continue to remind ourselves of

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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