Pros

- some good teams - excellent compensation - great product

Cons

- career ending technology in core enterprise - awful program management. no idea of how to do agile/scrum - re-org almost every year. new management comes in, screws up, gets fired, and the cycle continues. Extremely demoralizing. I think most experience Splunk now just kick back, do the bare minimum, and go home. Please wake us up when you have figured what you are trying to do.

Pros

The benefits are good enough.

Cons

An extremely hostile and chaotic workplace with everyone stabbing other employees in the back to cover up their own mistakes and shortcomings. The environment is an uncontrolled and disorganized startup still which they hold onto even though this has been a publicly traded company for years. The company has both young and older employees but the same theme is that most of them are inexperienced and unqualified for those roles, this leads to many mistakes and lost time and money and technical debt that they can't get out of. I've seen and experienced first-hand harassment by managers and common workers who go on the attack not because they've been attacked but to cover up their mistakes and shortcomings. The management doesn't hire qualified people but their friends from other failed companies that they've brought in to turn the company into a cesspool of incompetence and in-fighting. The unqualified employees who cover up their mistakes and fight with others do so because they want to vest their RSUs and make money that's why they're so aggressive with everybody else.
