Pros

- Fast growing company with strong products and happy customers - People are friendly, open and willing to work together - Fun environment, great perks, nice offices -- people are always grabbing drinks locally or on the 7th floor - Awesome product talent -- the hack weeks are so much fun

Cons

- Management turnover as the company scales -- some of the folks that grew the company to this point struggled to scale. New CEO and leaders bringing experience and focus, but it causes temporary disruption. - Always new challenges in the market, which causes some churn, but that is life in tech. Need to be comfortable with uncertainty.

Pros

- Excellent work life balance and competitive compensation. - Strong benefits and talented, supportive colleagues. - Industry leading technology with an established brand. - Opportunity to work with large enterprise customers and travel when needed.

Cons

- Since the Cisco acquisition, leadership quality and sales execution have noticeably declined. The culture has shifted from customer success to excessive focus on spreadsheets, dashboards, and internal metrics. - Internal politics and favoritism have become increasingly apparent, creating inconsistent opportunities across territories and reps. - The Splunk / Cisco integration remains fragmented. Sales motions, product positioning, and incentives are not aligned, making it difficult to execute effectively. - Cisco sellers are still not consistently incentivized to sell Splunk, creating unnecessary friction between teams. - Lack of experienced SE resources makes running successful PoCs difficult and slows sales cycles. - Account Executives are increasingly treated like overlays rather than owners of their business. - Product innovation has slowed, with a greater emphasis on packaging and licensing changes instead of meaningful platform improvements, while competitors like CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks continue to execute aggressively.
