Pros

Remote work Somewhat decent pay

Cons

This is by far the most disorganized, chaotic company I have ever seen. No one at the management or director level seems to have any idea how to run a department or team. IC’s are regularly asked to work late into the night or over the weekend to make up for leadership’s lack of adequate planning or strategy. Irrational and unproductive legacy behaviors are untouchable and routinely justified as “just the way we’ve always done it”. Bottlenecks and unnecessary bureaucracy run rampant while fundamentally flawed systems continue to remain broken because skilled individuals aren’t allowed to address any real issues. Everyone is so focused on execution that no one can see the very foundation crumbling beneath them. The company is being run into the ground as C-suites all bury their heads in the sand and pretend it’s just “growing pains” or that the macroeconomy is to blame.

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.
