Pros

Good stock compensation for early employees, good core product, good name, SF, good benefits.

Cons

Incompetent HR. Promotions are about who you know. People are hired often who are not great fits but connected. There's a lack of development for management. Working with the recruiting team on hiring for my team was a joke. The engineering community reminds me of a frat house at times. I feel Splunk could have a discrimination lawsuit coming any day based on hiring practices and what is "acceptable". Senior engineers don't have a place here.

Advice to Management

Hire experience. Audit HR. Provide internal development.
