Pros

Amazing benefits. Maternity and paternity leave are 4 months PAID. 4 weeks paid vacation to start. Holidays you are off for two weeks PAID on company time! Company wide travels, great events, happy hours, end of quarter parties, holiday parties, etc. plethora of food and drinks stocked in every office.

Cons

If you are not in sales, expect to be under paid. I had been with the company for two years, had a lot of experience, we hired a receptionist(male) to assist me with duties. He was hired making 20,000 more than I (female) was doing far less duties than I did. They do not fully look into situations with employees. It’s hear say. I’ve watched people get fired over the silliest things and hard working employees get let go for no reason but because a manager simply did not like them. While other employees took advantage of splunk, the manager liked them so let things slide and never reprimanded them.

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.
