Pros

The benefits are excellent, but it makes sense because they run you into the ground.

Cons

They use token POC on rotation to act like they are invested in belonging, but this is an illusion. Employee Relations is a joke. Nothing is done about toxic leadership. If you bring things forward, be prepared to be out of a job within a year. If you sift through these reviews, you will see a similar sentiment. People are getting paid well into 6 figures to do 0 work while others on the team are literally slaving. Workload and work-life balance do not exist. I left the company with PTSD, anxiety and depression, to which I now take medication for.

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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