      Pros

      It's a job. That is all. Hoping the new CEO is the real deal and not just another woke talking head. Much talk about diversity and employees first. We'll see. Great environment for baptismal by fire if that's your thing.

      Cons

      I was happy to have SolarWinds on my CV because of their reputation for hard work. After the breach, continuing to deal with the old school mentality and dysfunctional ADD environment, it's not worth it to remain any longer. They will wear you out and leave you wanting. Poor management. Politics. Women and people of color are seen as second-class, don't let them fool you. Many leaders are frustrated dictators and micromanagers. They stay because of the high pay and bonus. Speaking of, pay discrepancy is very real in all areas. Male: Female. Mgmt: Individual Contrib. Entry-level: Upper Mgmt. Yes, it's time to go.

      Pros

      Pre-covid- lunch 2x per week, Soda, snacks, gym.

      Cons

      No work-life balance at all. Terrible leadership from the top of the company that ripples through the org. Sr leaders only care about their stock.

      Pros

      At first the free lunches seem like a good idea, until you see that it is like eating from a trough. Free beverages are always welcome. All these perks are to encourage employees not to leave the office.

      Cons

      The philosophy of "More butts in seats" and "Perception is Reality" shows just how flawed this company really is. Senior management is all about the veil of secrecy. Middle management, regular employees, and employees new to the company are not supported AT ALL and get blamed for everything. I keep hearing about all the really smart employees that leave and are happy just to be gone, they dont really care where they are going. Where is the company going? At this rate, there will no longer BE a company in another year.
