Pros

Fantastic Product that customers love. Amazing perks and compensation. Plenty of room for growth, promoted after less than a year. Openness from Upper Management. Building 7 new floors near the Ballpark.

Cons

Probably the same as any hyper growth software company. It's going to be difficult to keep the same culture when you're growing from 500-5000. Some of the folks that have been here 5+ years might be reticent to change.

Pros

Great people, amazing technology and a solid customer base. This is the kind of company you look for so you can be a part of something incredible. Unlike most enterprise software out there, Splunk just works! Ask any of our customers and you'll get resounding yes. Management is doing a great job keeping up with the phenomenal growth, and keeping the Splunk culture alive and well.

Cons

Most of the issues at Splunk are related to our rapid growth. Obviously, this leads to short term problems and political battles, hopefully management can resolve them.

Pros

Good stock compensation for early employees, good core product, good name SF, good benefits

Cons

Incompetent HR, promotions about who you know, people are hired often who are not great fits but connected. Lack of development for management. Working with recruiting team on hiring for my team was a joke. Engineering community reminds me of a frat house at times. I feel Splunk could have a discrimination lawsuit coming any day based on hiring practices and what is "acceptable". Senior engineers don't have a place here.
