Splunk reviews

Grew too fast which resulted in the erosion of the team oriented, startup culture. A purely hierarchical corporate environment now, management does not take kind to employees that may have different approaches or ideas. Some managers are entirely ego driven and vindictive... will poll other employees to get negative information on a targeted individual; for the purposes of generating a bad review. Once the paper trail gets rolling, including goals that are unrealistic to obtain in a specific timeframe, it's a matter of time before that individual is forced out.

I've worked in Enterprise software sales for over 20 years. People who say Splunk is a great place to work are either lying or delusional. Really stupid, truly stupid, arrogant people work at this company. Management is absolutely awful. There's been major turnover from top to bottom. A kind of toxic environment has emerged because what was once a hot product has become harder and harder to sell because of it's expensive price tag and the broad competition from open source, and much simpler and elegant solutions. Period. Quotas are absolutely ridiculous. Probably 5 years ago it was a good place to work. But these days you should skip it - or at least know what you are walking into. Fear and intimidation are the only tactics left.
