Splunk reviews

As other posters have mentioned, senior management (definitely not leaders) revolving door over past four years has been quite damaging to morale. In the past Splunk had a very unique employee focused culture. This can be a good thing if managed well. Top talent will stick around and be motivated etc. On the flip side, it could be argued that, historically, the culture leaned a little too much toward the employee leading to a lot of long term employees feeling entitled and basically phoning it in. Many employees have been resistant to change and incumbent managers that were promoted into management by their friends as the company grew really did not know how to manage people resulting in a laissez faire organizational culture in many departments. To address this, in came the autocrats. They've been inclined to throw the baby out with the bathwater. They know better than everybody else, they've read their management books and they don't need to listen to anybody else. They will only promote or hire "yes men/women" and will not tolerate their views to be challenged. "My way or the highway". Personally, I choose the highway, I choose to leave my toxic manager for the sake of my happiness and well-being and I have no regrets. Some of the toxic managers have since "left". Some are still around blowing their own horn and spreading havoc while claiming success. (remind you of anybody?) Good employees are leaving in droves despite the great stock run.

Product org, in combination with strategy team, has missed the boat. Should have industry specific solutions by now for healthcare, financial services, life sciences that emphasizes what you can do with the data, not just collecting the data and figuring it out on your own. Why not a Splunk MSSP to drive another revenue channel? Still basically selling the same capabilities that we were several years ago. If you did not come from salesforce.com, be prepared to be painted with the "you don't know anything" brush, given that's where so much of the leadership has come from. Culture, whatever that really means, is 100% different than it was a few years ago.
