Based on Glassdoor review below by a current Splunk HR Generalist in San Francisco, CA.
https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Employee-Review-Splunk-RVW27231492.htm
"Company is literally corrupt at the HR and Executive level, I saw my leadership coverup harassment/abuse at Splunk multiple times, going to incredible lengths to hide their lies and intentionally do additional harm to their victims."
Splunk found guilty, another time (s-x discrimination this time): https://www.theregister.com/2020/08/12/splunk_sales_discrimination_case/
I confirm that harassment does not seems to be a big deal for HR at Splunk, and not only in the US: I saw a director having so many inappropriate behavior with women in France, including putting his both hands on a sales boobs at an afterwork. Everybody knows, but nobody said anything because this guy might have too much impact on your career, like refusing or limiting access to his presales team !
I saw today that Glassdoor review was deleted today, apparently splunk monitors all reviews and even if they didnt violated rules but are damaging to their company they demand glassdoor delete them without cause. Glassdoor is just as corrupt as Splunk.
HR is the most offensive and corrupt department at any company.
It's an upside down universe we live in HR is not your friend but rather your enemy. If you go to them they now know who they can retaliate against which is you.
Never go to HR or call the whistleblower hotline they are there to lull in unsuspecting employees so they can identify who to retaliate against.
I can raise my right hand and attest with the recent events after 2017 they violated the settlement agreement with the DOL sue and ban them from federal business.
Not being able to sell to the US Federal government will take a big chunk of their sales revenues. Oh well it was a practice run anyways. Bye bye and good riddance.
They've already broken the law with their hiring and firing practices that's why any additional findings will have severe penalties including selling to the US Federal government.
they're screwed
Splunk is going to get sued again by the US Department of Labor, they are currently under supervision by the Federal government for their HR hiring and first practices. They had to settle a lawsuit with the US Department of Labor, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs in 2017. The settlement requires they have a HR program in place to prevent against future abuses of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. It seems they violated their settlement agreement, which means they will be harsher financial penalties, and they may be banned from to selling software and services to the US Federal government.

I wasn't in HR while I was there but they definitely enabled and implicitly encouraged harassment by their actions.
