SolarWinds is a nepotistic cesspool run by incompetent clowns

Sales

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It is great that SolarWinds customers started to trust the company after the cyber-attack. The product is great to be honest.

Cons

The levels of nepotism and incompetence at SolarWinds are off the charts. The new CEO has filled the company with his friends, even though they're all unqualified and incompetent. As a result, SolarWinds is a complete mess. If you're looking for a job where you can be successful, don't even waste your time at SolarWinds.

Pros

Salary is low but not too bad.

Cons

The new management team at SolarWinds is a nightmare. They're unprofessional, toxic, and only care about themselves. It's impossible to do your job well in such a hostile environment. If you're looking for a job where you can be treated with respect and dignity, SolarWinds is not the place for you.
