Pros

Splunk Brand, Legacy Culture, and Team of people to support for growth.

Cons

This was the place in the Bay Area which had a terrific team culture and great management (immediate leaders and ELT).

But after the exit of its great CEOs, the culture deteriorated, and the new ELT and leadership just want to save their positions and visibility, leading to politics and mismanagement and a little to no growth environment.

It's full of favoritism and is no longer the ideal place it used to be.

This is my honest review.

Advice to Management

My only suggestion would be to be honest with the people who made this company great, not only to the ELT or investors seeking money.

Employees used to be the center of this company, which is lost now. The only thing the ELT, Leadership, or Board cares about is making money and burying all the legacy greatness.
