Pros

Decent benefit and employee welfare. Great products. Nice name on resume.

Cons

Used to be an awesome company with the previous leadership. Everything screwed up since bringing in SSL and her team, the entire great culture got destroyed, started to bring in more and more Splunk people from various region which carried over their toxic culture. The crazy headcount expansion with 3000 FTE grown to 7000+ in 2 years is insane. The quota increased with much smaller territory in such a short time put most sales reps not attaining the OTE. Most great people have left and those incapable sales "leaders" continue to make terrible decision.

Pros

Smart, talented, and supportive colleagues. Interesting products and the opportunity to work on technology that impacts many customers. Good work-life balance in most teams. Collaborative culture with opportunities to learn from experienced peers. Strong brand recognition and valuable experience for your resume

Cons

Cons Recognition is lacking, especially for individual contributors. Strong performance and consistent delivery do not necessarily translate into career advancement, promotions, or meaningful salary increases. Growth opportunities appear limited for ICs, while management roles seem to receive a greater share of advancement and compensation opportunities. After several years, many individual contributors may find themselves reaching a career plateau with few clear paths for progression. If career growth, promotion opportunities, and compensation advancement are important priorities, it may be worth evaluating other opportunities once you’ve gained experience here
