Pros

Regular trips to HQ in Austin can be enjoyable, free meals and drink outings in Austin every few months can always be fun.

Cons

Feels like most of the leadership are just hoping to be bought out so they can get a big fat paycheck. It means there's no real long term goals, objectives as a company should have, this also allows bad employees can remain at large without any repercussions. From the top level management they don't value customers or the channel partners, theres a element of they are taking % from us at senior level, they have no understanding of business yet empowered to make the critical decisions of the company. High attrition amongst the company relates to toxic leadership, the people who try and implement change for good tend to get laid off within 1-2yrs tenure, insecurity is rife among the CCO and only a few favorites around are safe.

Pros

I wish if I can give 0 point here, no wonder why we are below 3 points here in Glassdoor.

Cons

SolarWinds used to be a great place to work, but the new CEO and his management team have ruined it. They've created a toxic work environment where morale is at an all-time low. If you're thinking about working at SolarWinds, don't. It's not worth the stress or the hassle.p
