Pros

Security team was great, diverse and helpful. Break room stocked with snacks, drinks hot/cold, and really modern. Fun promotion of office culture and company mascot. fun offices and environment that allowed for what could be a great office to work at.

Cons

The facilities team was dysfunctional in their office practices. They were not supportive or lead by example when it came to the security policies especially when it came to Covid policies. It felt like their was diversity ideology conflict as I was of Hispanic heritage and had the sense that I was an "invader" instead of part of a team. Their training/coaching was conflictive to company security policies and procedures I was first taught and read in training. I noticed they were actively cutting corners in security badging. I was not permitted to set up the desk in an ergonomic fashion. Meetings were rushed and awkward as it seemed to be an annoyance to the facilities manager. This all made my learning of the job duties I was to fulfill, difficult, stressful and very uncomfortable.

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.
