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.

Pros

Great compensation and time off. No micromanagement. Great product that's known for its strength and solid brand

Cons

Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan. Competitors have caught up and sometimes surpassed Splunk leaving Splunkers looking for a new strategy; very small territories, incompetent hires in some management roles
