Pros

- Visibility and Alignment: In-depth analysis of SolarWinds strategies and business plans between All Hands and Ask Me Anything sessions that are hosted globally and functionally each quarter to ensure all departments and employees are aligned on our corporate goals - Access to Leadership: Leaders are very approachable and easy to talk to. The executive leadership teams operates with an open-door policy to encourage employees to come to them with concerns, questions, and suggestions - Comprehensive and wholistic total rewards offerings: Solid compensation plan, medical, dental, vision, and mental health benefits - Awesome perks: education tuition reimbursement, flexible time off (basically unlimited), sabbatical leave for employees with 5 years of service, 401K matching, donation matching - Great Co-Workers: The People at SolarWinds are friendly and helpful, making work a lot easier - People-First Culture: The workspace is very accommodating and stocked with snacks and beverages daily, with lunch catered each week. Employees can also take advantage of the daily restaurant lunch drops - Flexible Work: Employees are expected to be in office three days a week but the policy is not strict and managers practice implicit trust to support flexible and hybrid work

Cons

- There is a lot of change going on at SolarWinds and most are still adapting to all the change management, the same thing most tech companies are facing - It can feel like teams are siloed and occasionally there is confusion on project or job responsibilities between colleagues

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.
