Pros

Many of these reviews are extremely misleading. I came into the IT sales workforce with little to no IT knowledge. If you are looking to kick start your IT sales career and gain insights into every IT vertical, there is no better place to start. In addition they have leaders that match what you put into the job with your opportunity for growth. As in every job there are hurdles that come with growth. You can get out what you put in at SolarWinds. This place has exceeded numerous expectations. 1. earning potential 2. flexibility during hard personal times 3. This is the first place of employment that genuinely cared about my well being.

Cons

There is consistent change that can be hard to swallow some times from an account perspective "if" you pride yourself on relationship building. (in defense) The leaders here have had to navigate a lot in a short amount of time significantly beyond the norm, or economic down turn that every org is currently facing. I do not envy having to make these decisions. I would applaud Sudhakar and Andrea for how they have handled the far from easy hurdles.

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.
