Pros

- Incredibly supportive workplace that promotes a culture of learning about ideas and skills that apply beyond my immediate job requirements - There is very open communication up and down the hierarchy and across departments, even in a fairly low position on the totem pole I feel very well respected and listened to - All the office and work benefits of a small start-up with the security of a larger publicly traded company (retirement matching, great health insurance, stocks, moving budget, etc) - The friendliness and fun of the office is remarkable, plus unlimited high-quality snacks, insane catered food a couple times a week, kombucha on tap, etc - I am legitimately excited to come to work on Mondays

Cons

- Right now we are in two different buildings downtown, and as we expand in both buildings it's difficult to keep the valued company culture alive with folks in the other building. However, we are planning in moving into a brand new building this fall, and I think this will alleviate any pain points here

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.
