Pros

Good Technology - a known brand globally. Some of the people there are nice and I make some friends

Cons

Very mean when it comes to money and rewarding their staff. Sent a selection box and a solarwinds t-shirt for a christmas present, yet staff worked from home without a single 'care' package all year. Management changes every quarter it seems and company direction is all over the place. New CEO has brought all his own people from Pulse Secure and all new hires in management are from their - turning into a job for the boys club - all male hires also. Targets change at the drop of a hat and if you are successful you are punished to keep you down. Metrics are the only thing that matter - i.e. calls/emails etc. and a lot of the Sales managers are Sales Admin and not actual what you'd call a Sales Leader - very uninspiring. Bad reputation with channel partners due to Solarwinds stealing deals of channel at last minute in the past, just to get deal

Pros

Amazing office space in Charlotte with a strong emphasis on work-life balance. There are plenty of social events and networking opportunities that help employees stay engaged and build relationships across different business units. The recent IT reorganization has created a unique opportunity to participate in system and process design initiatives. While this level of change and transformation may not appeal to everyone, it offers valuable experience for those who enjoy shaping new processes and driving organizational improvements. I am optimistic about the direction of the organization and confident in the vision and leadership of the new IT management team.

Cons

Career advancement opportunities can sometimes feel limited within a satellite office environment, and promotion paths are not always clearly defined. Employees seeking long-term growth may benefit from having proactive career development conversations with leadership. The recent IT reorganization has introduced a period of transition, resulting in some uncertainty and lower morale across parts of the organization. The department is currently in a rebuilding phase, and new employees should expect to contribute to the implementation of new processes, systems, and ways of working. Compensation appears to be somewhat below market rates for certain roles, which may be a consideration for candidates prioritizing salary growth.
