Pros

Splunk Brand, Legacy Culture and Team of people to support for growths.

Cons

This was the place in bay area which had terrific Team culture. And great Management (immediate Leaders and ELT) But after the exit of its great CEOs the culture had deteriorated and new ELT and leadership just want to save their positions and visibility leading into politics and mismanagement and little to no growth environment. Its full of favoritism and no ideal place now what it used to be. This is my honest review.
