Splunk Reviews

Pros

Genuine friendly and supportive environment. Extensive training available. Support for flexible working. Interesting technology to work with, and a chance to grow expertise in a number of technical areas

Cons

High workload ( although understandable with frequent new product and version releases in a high growth environment ). Change management has not always been handled well ( but is recently much improved )

Pros

Great people in the teams

Cons

Startup, hence lots of work

Pros

I wish I could say something positive about my experience with Splunk but it seems that the only thing this company has going for it is the legacy customers they're managing to hold onto. And frankly, I have no idea how they're even managing that.

Cons

The leadership at Splunk is a textbook example of incompetence. I've never seen a more disconnected and disorganized group of people who seem to have no idea what it takes to run a successful business in today's world. It's like watching a ship sink in slow motion, and everyone on board is just bailing water with teaspoons. The management team fares no better. They are utterly terrible at executing projects and seem to lack even basic understanding of the concept of teamwork. It's a wonder how they managed to get into their positions in the first place. The company culture is plagued with finger-pointing and blame games, making it impossible for employees to feel supported and motivated. When it comes to modernizing the product, Splunk is stuck in the dark ages. Despite the rapidly evolving technological landscape, the company refuses to adapt or innovate. Their product is outdated, cumbersome, and can't keep up with the demands of today's market. They've had countless opportunities to evolve and improve, but each time they've stubbornly clung to their antiquated ways.

Pros

High quality, industry leading data management platform. Splunk is working diligently to develop its cybersecurity portfolio.

Cons

Splunk is in a very difficult transition with its cybersecurity and cloud GTM strategy while not adequately investing in product innovation or support for its core enterprise products. Sales management is not focused on customer satisfaction and layers of managers are desperate for success at any price. Employee moral is very low with overall company turnover rates greater than 25% per year.

Pros

Great compensation and benefits Remote work DEI Promotes finding your own path

Cons

Onboarding was painful and prolonged Nepotism and cliques are prevalent Internal documentation is messy and needs cleanup Finding own path still requires boundaries and guidance, both of which are lacking

Pros

Great people, project, great benefit,

Cons

New leadership seems not having a healthy strategy.

Pros

Nice work life balance with 1 wellness day off per quarter. Coworkers are very smart here

Cons

The new Executives here are gettinng super micro managing and ultimately will drive good talent out. They are getting to a point where they are telling us how to write emails, even the small deals they want us to do the full process in SFDC, this is taking up too much time and not enough time to do selling.

Pros

Competitive pay Tons of opportunities to learn

Cons

Culture is going to hell as the company grows and becomes more corporate Constant major changes with lack of clear goals Constant shifting of executives causes blurry company vision

Pros

- Competitive pay for every role I encountered - Employee well-being is demonstrably a priority - Most teams are genuinely trying their best

Cons

- This company has grown too quickly on such a shaky foundation. Leadership and initiatives often feel aimless and rarely well-justified. - Soooo much executive churn - Often feels like there's a lack of incentive or accountability for many key players to actively seek improvement in processes and contribute to a positive company culture

Pros

- Lots of interaction with leadership levels (regional director up to SVP Americas). - You play a critical role within the account team. - Renewals Reps at Splunk wear many hats; at times you will take responsibility for legal contract reviews, financial analysis of contracts and customer historical spend, sales negotiations, sales positioning, value selling to executives, proposal building, and you will often be the natural go-to person for problem solving generally anything by the sales teams. - The role is a "cushy" spot to be at in the business and it comes, generally, with strong job security (if you're willing to lean in and build a brand as a go-getter - do not be a "not my job" employee!)

Cons

Success can be your downfall. The renewals role is so critical to the success of Splunk that you are relied upon heavily to take on larger responsibilities necessary to get deals done. Have no misunderstanding about this role - you are not simply a quote builder and PO chaser. This role requires you to get answers to seemingly simple questions like "what's renewing? when is it due? for how much? where does it come from? what are the contractual terms previously agreed to for this renewal?" To get the answers to these questions, you must navigate a clunky and error-ridden salesforce system and wear the hat of Legal, Sales, Best-Practices, Systems Admin, etc... While Splunk generally is one of the higher paying companies in the industry, and while the renewals role pays higher than most renewals roles in other companies, it would be inaccurate to say that the pay matches the workload. This is a workload intensive role and time-management/mental health management is crucial to your success.
