Yes Glassdoor, No AMA!

Business Outlook

Pros

Before the new CEO, our company was doing well.

Cons

The new CEO has made the HR department ineffective. It seems like only their friends are in charge. Moreover, during the AMA meetings, the CEO tries to appear strict and fair, but it's clear that it's not genuine. In a few months, you'll see how fake he is.

Business Outlook

Pros

Despite my efforts, I couldn't identify any positive aspects worth mentioning.

Cons

The level of frugality, lack of professionalism, and unfair treatment towards all sellers at SolarWinds is profoundly disheartening. The company has made the decision to burden sellers by increasing their targets significantly, a move that does not extend to managers, seemingly motivated by cost-cutting measures. We are simply work for free!
