Pros

Money, percs, food, liquor, and the original Splunkers the few that remained and actually still work were pretty cool.

Cons

Politics, mediocre management, politics, people fighting in meeting, politics, bad PM, big egos with low talent, half the people don't work are drunk most of the time and are just vesting into retirement. It's a sinking ship.

Pros

money, money, money, good name to have on resume.

Cons

everything else, work sucks, people are aggressive and rude to each other. its one of those places where people want to get ahead by discrediting others. there is no longer any transparency in the organization. have had three bosses in the span of a year. impossible to get anything done. there are 10 managers to every one person actually doing work.

Pros

Good technology and a good platform, a talented dev team. New CEO seems like his head’s in the right place.

Cons

They are actively cutting benefits like equity, bonuses, etc. to cut costs at the behest of new investors and - for the first time in 20 years - actually be a profitable business. You will have to CYA to a maniacal degree to protect yourself from your co-workers. Despite an overcompensating degree of ERGs, DEI measures, etc., it’s a toxic environment. Everyone knows the party’s over, but they’re just trying to stay in for as long as they can - and they do that by trying to throw each other under the bus. A comical overabundance of middle management, with many rookie managers who really just make everyone miserable and everything worse and more complicated. They rose into leadership to fill gaps after a large number of people left in 2020 and 2021.
