Splunk

High concentration of the industry's top talent. Fun atmosphere. Highly competitive compensation. Management that listens to your ideas and puts you in the position you want to be in.

Rapid growth means some confusion in policies and growing pains (normal).

Can be quite political; people talk about each other behind their backs.

When someone makes a mistake, don't label that individual as incapable, but sit down and learn alongside them. This kind of shell game with talent will only lead to high turnover and disappointment. Understand that in this industry things are ever-changing, and you will need to stay technical and change too. The max most managers can handle at one time is seven, and I think at Splunk that's pushing it.
