Pros

Fun location Reasonable commuting options OK benefits and compensation Party central for those who like that kind of thing

Cons

Culture of secrecy, gossip and back-stabbing Grew too fast for its infrastructure Nightmare HR Department (bad role models). Certainly not walking the talk. Exec is a bit of a joke. Favoritism and lack of consistency in promotion practices; promote your "besties"---never mind they were never evaluated against other (more qualified) candidates (internally or externally) Inflated egos

Victim of Their Own Success?

Pros

Great core product, amazing upside (if they get it right) a tiny bit of the true Splunk culture from the founders is still hanging on.

Cons

Becoming "that company" at an alarming rate. Lack of transparency and cooperation between teams, finger pointing inability to execute / monitize beyond core product. Poor apps strategy, Splunk Storm utter fail, Hunk stalled out to name a few. Scattershot approach to new target markets. Teams are managing up and hunkering down vs innovating. Stock compensation is all they can offer to attract and retain ppl and even the street is noticing all the dilution. Culture of fear where there is a fail fast, but succeed or else mentality.
