Pros

Great learning experience around all things product marketing.

Cons

Chaotic. High employee and management turnover. You can get burned out very quickly there. Upper management is too focused on the quantity of "leads" instead of the quality of the lead, resulting in a "spray & pray" marketing model.

Pros

There are so many perks to working at SolarWinds! I have been an employee in the Finance area for over 5 years and can say I have enjoyed the work, the atmosphere, and the company culture. They truly are focused on promoting from within which I can attest to from my own personal experience. The work is challenging and the Company is ever changing with new acquisitions etc. I can say I have never been bored here and have always felt that they care about my career and about growing me as an individual. If you enjoy a challenge and want to work hard (and play hard of course) this is the place for you. On the forefront some of the perks include semi-annual bonus plans, extensive vacation days, great 401k matching, catered lunches twice a week, snack bins and free coffee and sodas. Other perks include company outings, happy hours, and of course a flexible schedule as needed once you have proven yourself to management. The Finance Group truly values their employees and if you work hard for them they will "go to bat for you". The quarterly Company meetings are a definite plus. They at a high level explain what is going on in the business and what our focus should be in the next several months. It gets everyone motivated to work as an organization to make it happen.

Cons

Sometimes we move and change so quickly it is hard to know precisely how this will impact each department. Quick communication about plans for acquired companies etc would be beneficial. This could be communicated down from Senior Management etc on a smaller scale so that we truly know how our day to day is going to be impacted.
