Pros

Currently working less than a year but Solarwinds doesn't seems as bad as I read in here and definitely not a 2+ score. Product portfolio is mature and there are some new promising categories like OTel, SaaS solutions, etc. So from tech perspective there is a room to grow. Salary and other benefits like stocks are good but not perfect.

Cons

It seems that the company is quite limited with budgets for almost everything, easy expenses are approved by VPs, some business process are also not very well defined. For now it is all I can find

Pros

The benefits were decent and the coworkers were nice

Cons

Did not have direction. Goals are unreachable to the point I basically did not have a pay raise from my previous job as there was 0 chance to make the numbers they expected. Did not listen to feedback.

Pros

Pay is great while it lasted, spend way over industry standard to try and covet people who are in better companies, lots of short term band-aid thinking.

Cons

So many cuts of the good staff I've have lost count. Somehow the cheats, the toxic, the gossipers and the yes men/women are sticking around. Business trips to India, Portugal, Thailand and Ireland suddenly turn in extended holidays all too frequently, its a concerning trend, some of the management are milking the company dry in plain sight. 2 orgs that seem to run the show Renewals Leadership and Finance... both of whom are preventing net new sales to grow. Most new roles are opening in cheaper cost centres, on paper it looks good but they are missing out on in region talent for which they cannot seem to comprehend.
