Pros

The pay is decent but not the most competitive.

Cons

As a young, white, open-minded, New York located male here’s my opinion: If you aren’t white and male, Splunk will NOT be an inviting place for you to work or thrive. The CEO does not support any sort of ethnic diversity. I’ve been at Splunk 3 years and have never seen the CEO or President interacting with African Americans at Splunk on a regular basis. All of the “diversity” initiatives are driven by a mostly white staff (that of course, don’t have any true passion when it comes to cultural awareness and unity). I’m married to an African America woman and have a step daughter that is African American and I can’t imagine my wife or daughter ever having the smallest opportunity for success or advancement at Splunk if they came here to work. Also, I’ve been reprimanded for suggesting ways to increase diversity and inclusion of other ethnic groups at Splunk. But here’s the good news: I’ve gotten an offer from VMWare and Cisco. So Splunk will soon be history in 3 weeks.

NO work from home policy, toxic culture

Pros

-RSUs -Good pay -weekly lunch -benefits including discounted health insurance, education, etc

Cons

-Male manager has no empathy or respect for female employee’s privacy or personal space. You have to tell him all the details about OB GYN appointments/test results etc., so that he can approve for your sick leave. Micromanagement all the time by staring at your screen or having constant random check-ins. Must report the details if you had conversations with another team. No interactions with other departments are allowed without his permission. Tons of pressure and negativity going to work. -Toxic backstabbing culture is trickling down to all management levels. Can’t work from home, because mid-level managers told you so. Because they want to please Executives. Super political, mid-level managers constantly suck up to the E-staffs by having absurd requests from the team/employees. -Management level always take credits for others’ work to get themselves promotions, without even showing any gratitude to team members. Also they like people who talk big only instead of those who did the actual work. They don’t appreciate real hard work. Don’t be surprised if your credits all got taken by your manager & director. -Tons of really good talents already left, many more are planning to leave. People who stay usually are very old or old enough to retire. (Avg. age is 45+...) You will always be at disadvantage if you are in 20s. DON’T come if you are younger than 35, you won’t have a promising future here.

Pros

Collaboration, higher purpose, team mentality, career growth, great compensation, great perks.

Cons

Fast-paced with very little downtime. Although work-life balance is highly regarded, sometimes it is tough to maintain.
