Pros

free food some good people left

Cons

If you want to successfully kill a famous company culture, here's how: 1. Close down the quirky, fun SF Splunk office and move everyone next door to an oddly decorated, cold, non-Splunky environment. 2. Hire a CRO, now President, and let her make terrible hires after she promised on her first day she would not change the Splunk culture. 3. Let said hires come in and make very bad decisions and get rid of really good people. 4. Let HR fire people for caring and trying to speak up. Let HR continue to ignore glaring issues going on across departments. 5. Hire the completely WRONG SVPs of marketing and products who have no clue how to manage and that no one respects 6. Try to force people work in the Santana Row office (also cold, bare and not Splunky and not close to a train station) 7. Try to turn Splunk into a mini Salesforce (no one wants this!) 8. Pretend everything is fine even though no one thinks it is 9. Stop adhering to the core values you used to preach 10. Only care about getting to $5B
