Good place to work!

Toxic Leadership, Ego-driven Decisions
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
June 30, 2016
Pros: Splunk used to be a great company to work for. Agile, innovative, fun, with great leadership – we're not that company anymore.
The only other pro is our new building; it's pretty sweet.
Cons: Toxic leadership, especially within my engineering org. Poor decision-making at the senior executive level. I don't feel like my manager or team lead has my best, or the company's best interest in mind; it seems a lot of the decisions are ego-driven. Salaries aren't competitive in engineering either; most people are just staying until they're fully vested. Perks could be improved: no cafeteria, gym, 401k, etc. Splunk will surely start to lose talent soon.

Everything is just ok
Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee
San Jose, California, United States

Pros: Work-life balance is still better compared to most "Squid Game" big tech in the Bay.
Cons: The reorg happened after the recent acquisition, and that killed a lot of good stuff.
