Pros

The people at SolarWinds are great. I've truly enjoyed interacting with everyone and I am happy to have built my network in a great company. I also value my work-life balance; the hybrid work environment is the best of both worlds - I get to interact with coworkers in person and also get to work from home a couple of days a week. I also really love our overall benefits package; it fits my needs, and I am very pleased with the thought that goes behind every benefit we have.

Cons

I am confused about our company strategy. I am not sure what our one-year or five-year plans are, which can be frustrating, especially when many leaders are let go. I understand that change needs to happen to get where we need to go, but not knowing where that is makes it quite confusing and can lead to distrust in leadership.

Pros

- lots of opportunities to stretch and learn new skills - coworkers I'm genuinely friends with - line managers who are committed to reasonable timelines and work-life balance instead of bending over backward to compensate for other teams' failure to plan

Cons

- true promotions are hard to come by because of constant structure change. I've been "auditioning" for a promotion for over two years - satisfaction is highly dependent on your team and leader - lots of variability between departments, teams, and sub-teams - political complexity and lack of follow-through; teams do not follow processes or schedules and expect other teams to pick up their slack. A lot of "just get it done" mentality instead of figuring out how to work sustainably and efficiently - slow loss of work-from-home autonomy despite great results

Guidance from leadership has not always been clear, hybrid work policy is not popular with everyone, change sometimes comes too slowly, a few high-level executives have been destructive to employee morale.
