Pros

I can’t say enough about the culture of this company. Very much a work hard, play hard mentality. If you want to learn how to grow your sales muscle and how to work with customers and solution sell on value, this is the place. Had a baby in my first year, and company provided 20 weeks of paternity/maternity leave. Full base pay and job security. Incredible! ~5 extra company holidays just because so you can invest in your family. Crazy good retirement/401k options. 3% match up to 6% plus an additional $2,000 provided by the company once a year. Comp plan structure to promote the right kind of behavior and aggressive spiffs/multipliers. Leadership promotes accountability from the top down. Not sure if this is normal, but my boss sent out a “welcome” email to an alias list across the regional team, and our CEO took time to send me a personalized welcome email joining the team. What CEO of a 6,000+ employee company does that? Truly set the tone for an incredible culture.

Cons

Much more administrative/account plan work required throughout the year. However I can see that it was helpful in executing successful account activity and penetration. Some internal processes create layers of sales prevention but company seems to be trying to remove those barriers. Shared engineer resources. 2:1 sales to engineer.

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.
