Pros

The technology is great; for the core product anyway. Some of the side products are somewhat questionable. Many of the old times, which means anyone who has been there more than a couple of years, are wonderful.

Cons

The management is shockingly bad; at all levels. Ask anyone why they are there and the answer is to be a $5B company. No thought of customer or anything good, just money. Worse than the banks. The core technology is great but everything else they have bought or tried to build is dredful.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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
