Pros

- The culture at Splunk is very friendly and supportive. - Will be rewarded for working hard and doing well. Non-toxic. - Amazing product which is the dominant player in machine data logging and SIEM. - Interesting sales cycles where you learn from different experiences (partly because the product can do so much!)

Cons

Cisco acquisition has changed the culture where it's less fun. Many product and sales leaders have left recently. Would still recommend as a company.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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
