      A Devastating Downfall

      Pros

      The enchanting days of being the wizards behind top-notch monitoring software are over. Once, we had the magic touch, but that vanished when the CEO and his accomplice, the Chief Product Officer, parachuted in from Pulse Secure.

      Cons

      Let's talk about the grim reality. Expanding offices for talent is wise, but what's happening here is a ruthless betrayal. Our department is under direct attack, with every member targeted for immediate replacement – all to pave the way for a fresh crew from India. It's evident where our future lies, and it's nothing short of bleak. The CEO's cunning plan? Wipe out our top-tier European offices that have consistently proven their excellence and profitability. In their place, he's cheering for the rise of new offices in India and smaller regions. But the CEO's calculus is flawed; these offices, history shows, are far from matchless in their skills and revenue generation. Worse yet, the newly appointed leaders display no interest in the old guard, leaving us to deduce their intentions – promoting pals and putting India on a pedestal.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your review and feedback. SolarWinds is recognized as a leader in monitoring and network management, and we thank you for your commitment and hard work in helping us achieve this. In the last year, we have cut back on global hiring and shifted our focus to retaining talent by launching new employee programs to recognize and reward employees for their contributions. It is not our intention to replace any employees with less skilled candidates in other regions. We understand your concerns about leadership and will take your feedback into consideration to improve our organization. We are committed to fostering a positive and inclusive workplace, where all employees feel valued and heard. We encourage you to continue this dialogue with your local People Partner or in an upcoming Ask me Anything session.

      Avoid if possible - toxic culture spreading

      Pros

      Pay was decent, promises of growth, share price to rise

      Cons

      The company appears to be under a cloud of toxic behaviours from all areas, seems to stem from a few of the C-Suite down to VP, Directors and managers worldwide. Friends have been hired in all levels, gossiping is frequent and as a result employees are all walking on eggshells otherwise they risk getting fired for "cost saving" purposes. If you have different veiws like on route to market than some of the legacy people then your pretty much done within 1yr. Large reduction of HC was done in Q1 23 and the feedback from those affected was just horrifying how they where treated after years of service.
