Incompetent CCO Trickles Down

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

work life balance, free lunches, free snacks, selling legitimate industry leading products, certain sales teams have strong culture

Cons

Chief Customer Officer has never sold, never led a sales team and knows nothing about sales. She came from renewals team which is basically a collections team. In conjunction with the lack of experience, she lacks any semblance of basic leadership skills. She makes decisions in a vacuum and shows favoritism to all women and anyone from the renewals team. Her complete lack of skill and competence trickles down into handcuffing the broader sales org. Our president of sales is useless at best. He does nothing, says nothing has 0 Presence and brings 0 value to his vps or to the sales reps working under the vps. Our CEO claims to care about the reps but he clearly doesn’t bc he has continued to allow these 2 empty suit/dead weight Employees to remain. I’m addition to promoting another former renewals/collections leader to a sales role in spite of having 0 sales Or Sales Leadership experience.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and review. As a people-first company, the employee experience is extremely important to us. Our leadership team truly cares about ensuring every employee feels valued, is treated fairly, and is respected. We continue to hire based on attitude, competence, and commitment at all grade levels, including our executive leaders. The SolarWinds Chief Customer Officer has led the sales organization for more than 20 years, contributing to our success and leadership. Our president of sales has a similar background and continues to drive value to the business. We understand your frustrations and encourage you to share your feedback in our upcoming employee engagement survey and with your local people partner.

Pros

Pay package for Cork region is pretty good.

Cons

Leadership spread fear as a result of sporadic cuts to individuals globally. No direction from them Or it's a case they say this is our new focus, attempt to drive momentum and encouragement only for them to do a complete 180 and waste valuable time, as a result of this lack of thought leaders within means the company is in constant disarray. Just toxic behaviors from the CCO and surrounding leadership is dragging the entire company downhill.
