Pros

Well known company. Hired really great people during Covid boom.

Cons

Many things changed when acquired by Cisco. Company became "too big" and too confusing. Having to have 2 internal email addresses. Having to use Webex since it's a Cisco product but then anything Splunk related was still tied to Zoom and Slack, etc.

Great company with a postivie non-toxic winning culture You can make a LOT of money here and you get great exposure across the greater Cisco org

Cons

For this role spacifically, commission is capped so that's a bit of a bummer but the good thing is there are always Spiffs to go over the cap

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Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan.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