Pros

You can do your own thing at all times and tee up a ton of stuff.

Cons

No vision. New executive leadership is inexperienced and faking it while they destroy everything they touch. Nothing ever gets shipped and everything is now top down. If you ask clarifying questions or idea share you will be pulled aside and called insubordinate. Team meetings now consist of exec talking about how smart they are and everyone else is around just to be seen so they keep their job. Its every man for themselves now with 0 career growth opportunities. Best way to describe it is - toxic and on the verge of becoming a career killing organization.

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.
