Pros

Pay is great and flexibility is a plus. Acquisition by Cisco helps bring new opportunities to the table.

Cons

Product is overly expensive and doesn't compete well in the market. Senior leadership lacks the ability to direct the teams the right way, They are all "too busy" to actually help their teams, They cannot paint a clear picture of a customer story which leaves the sellers just selling products rather than a vision. Partner strategy is a mess and sellers have no idea when to engage specific partners and the differences of SIs to VARs. Foundation of SI strategy needs a full revamp but they are too stuck to pivot. Legacy sales team that has a never fire mentality - great for protecting under performers.

Pros

Great compensation and time off. No micromanagement. Great product that's known for its strength and solid brand

Cons

Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan. Competitors have caught up and sometimes surpassed Splunk leaving Splunkers looking for a new strategy; very small territories, incompetent hires in some management roles
