Is it safe to join Splunk right now amid Cisco acquisition ?

What’s the general sentiment of employees and how likely are new hires to be let go first ?

No. Run. Any place but Splunk.

Do you or someone you know work there ? Looking for some inside perspective

Splunk aiaiaiai. Mar 2

Current employee. Will leave for lower pay. Only someone not in their right mind would join Splunk now.

Then why are they hiring ?

your experience is going to be very team and project dependent. No one really knows what’s going to happen when the acquisition closes but I enjoy working here

Amazon KUtH02 OP Mar 3

Would you be open to talking ? Thanks

This is the time to join, to get 3 yr no layoff card.

Amazon KUtH02 OP Mar 6

Why is that? I hear they will do 15% layoffs after acquisition closes for cost cutting

Cisco planx Mar 6

Yes, but for regular cisco ppl, they can for splunk. And Splunk will do before acquisition.
