Pros

* Smart People work here * State of the art tech stacks * Decent pay ( noway near other big techs . e.g. other silicon valley based tech companies)

Cons

* Communication, communication and communication. They love bombarding you with slack communication. I simply do not understand when do they think an engineering can put his/her head down and solve a problem * Too many managers just adding and filling up your meeting calendar * Too many people making decision and creating work but less workers * Good luck, you pager will only thing you'll hear in your life.

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.
