Pros

I feel like I've died and gone to work heaven. Really. We've all worked for crappy companies with horrible management. Where you just don't want to get out of bed in the morning. And where you really end up hating your boss. Well, Splunk is not that place. At Splunk, you are treated with respect and treated like the adult that you are. Hence, you naturally and instinctively work and act with reciprocal respect and act like an adult. And you want to work even harder. It's such a simple concept that I know most companies don't get and don't care to get.Oh and the office parties...people genuinely have fun! Not forced like in most offices. If you are lucky enough to get hired here, you need to thank your lucky stars each day you walk through the doors. Because I'm here to tell you, the grass ain't greener anywhere else. I know this for a fact.

Cons

The onboarding is still work in progress. But getting there! Fear of growing to big for our britches is imminent.

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.
