Pros
Leadership is very hands on but in a very supportive way. As long as you are a good project manager in a high velocity environment and are on top of your accounts and opportunities, you should do well. The knowledge will come with time and you have great support on calls to help as you get ramped up. I have worked at other similar companies, and the upper leadership is not intimidating at all. They are all very likable and approachable and even funny! Old reviews say differently, but it is my understanding those reviews are from before our new CRO. Customers love SolarWinds and are interested in learning about new advancements we've made to the platform. It makes it easy to get introduced to your accounts and drum up new business. It feels good to work for a company where the employees enjoy working together, yey are all vou can tell there is this sense of family because a lot of the employees are very tenured. That says a lot about a company when you are surrounded by tenure. Everyone is so welcoming and happy to help. You have to go in the office 3 days a week (tues-thurs), and still get the luxury of working from home Mon and Fri. I havent worked in a full office since covid and I must say I missed it. You get a lot of work done. Theres a cafeteria and a gym on campus, as well as a pretty little walking trail and a covered parking garage. They believe in diversity and inclusion and thats what makes us great!
Cons
They feed you a lot so you might gain the freshman 15 if you aren't careful. Depeneding how you look at it, you have to go into the office three days a week. But I will say it doesn't feel like torture, just dealing with traffic can be a bummer. The initial training could be a little more robust. There is a great repository of resources and learning material, but its more self guided to learn that stuff. The most value I got out of training was when a SE booked daily trainings to allow us to ask questions and walk through demos in a small group. I think there could be a more structured path for guided training, that follows a schedule over a set period of time.
