Pros

not bad if you hit your number but only about 10% really do consistently software is easy to sell if the customer doesn't hate solarwinds sales reps already

Cons

will micromanage you like crazy if you don't fake metrics you will blow up deals acting under management orders to harass customers

Pros

The company was a pretty fun place to work when business was good. Once we got past the 20% growth every year, the tension became a bit more palpable.

Cons

Politics are certainly a factor when working here.
