      Great company, I just had a crappy manager

      Pros

      I only worked at Splunk for a year. I found the culture to be a breath of fresh air. Overall it was a wonderful experience. They offered great salary and commission plan, as well as amazing benefits.

      Cons

      My manager created a hostile work environment. I've never been treated as poorly by any individual in my entire career. My only regret is that I did not escalate to HR and instead chose to leave.

      Adaptability is the key to happiness at Splunk

      Pros

      Look, Splunk has grown absurdly fast. At times this means processes and systems are bursting at the seams. For me personally, these "problems" represent opportunities and are exciting challenges to fix. Fortunately, employees are empowered to fix them. Despite our rapid growth, getting access to senior leadership is still ridiculously easy, and making a meaningful impact for the business is within everyone's reach. This is what I love about Splunk. The opportunity to create and shape the next version of Splunk. Of course, Splunk also provides competitive pay, great benefits, plenty of opportunities, and never a lack of excitement. The culture is maturing but remains at the top end of the scale. If this excites you, don't think twice about coming here.

      Cons

      Splunk isn't for everyone. Anyone saying that the "Golden Days Are Gone" have a nonsensical nostalgic view of a 500 person company with a single focus and short list of priorities. They're like Uncle Rico reminiscing about his "glory" days back in '82, and it's a little absurd. No, Splunk isn't high school anymore. Hang up your letterman jacket, embrace the path forward, realize that the journey ahead provides its own unique set of experience and opportunities, and you'll love Splunk.

      Best company I’ve ever worked for!

      Pros

      Extremely innovative, fast paced and transparent. I love talking about Splunk and so do my customers. Splunk applies to all industries.

      Cons

      The sales quotas are getting harder to attain due to high annual increases. It’s forcing good sales reps to move to other companies to achieve more even though they would rather stay and grow Splunk to a $5-10B company.
