Pros

Great people, friendly culture and great product with interesting challenges to solve. Competitive compensation and career growth opportunities.

Cons

Titles don't seem to match up with other companies, eg a principal software engineer here would barely be above senior software engineer in a top 5 company(having worked at one). Core engineering team is fantastic to work with but distribution of knowledge and expertise is like an onion: most of the knowledge and decision making is controlled by a few people perhaps refecting the product architecture. Internal team architecture (mission teams) is too disorganized and teams are not incentivized to working towards the right goals.

Pros

Great company facilities, perks, pay and culture. Leadership that genuinely cares about people in word and in deed. Splunk has great technology that is broadly applicable with a huge TAM. They are bringing in people who know how to make the transition from 1-5 billion/year run rate and putting in the processes to make it happen.

Cons

Rapid growth means change and some people are not comfortable with change. Especially old-school, anarchist types (which basically founded the company). The dynamic that gets you to 1 billion is not the same dynamic that gets you to 5 billion.
