Pros

- Catered lunches on Monday and breakfast on Fridays - Managers who care about your career growth and not just what they can get out of you - Smart, forward thinking coworkers and great team - Great benefits, generous PTO - The best CEO in silicon valley. His personality and energy makes him seem half his age It's obvious through the office energy that the whole company really believes in the product and what Splunk can become. Though some days are tougher than others, i've never heard a single person say they regretted becoming here. Since it's still technically a startup (though it's very rapidly becoming corporate) there are plenty of opportunities to work on different projects and define your own career path.

Cons

- 401K match would be nice Typical growing pains: the company is moving so fast that no one really has the time and energy to really sit down and look at the process as a whole. Every department is starting to realize the urgent need to implement practices that will allow us to effectively scale in size.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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