      Worst experience of my career so far

      Account manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits of a big company. Big office, Macbook, *had a full kitchen and snacks - even though they were rationed - and even weekly catered lunches.

      Cons

      None of the Pros make for a positive or successful work environment. In my 2 1/2 years, I had 7 different managers. The last one came in and tried to change the wheel. No understanding of the product, the employees, nothing. He had zero empathy or even understanding of a true world with real-world issues and events. Compared his dogs getting sick to that of a 3-year-old getting COVID, given his "sympathy" of the situation.

      Wish I could give it zero stars

      Senior product manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are none. This company has no redeeming qualities.

      Cons

      Leadership at SolarWinds consists of protectionist "D" players. They do little more than maneuver politically to ensure they are still getting paid. Yes, getting paid is all they care about. If that's you, maybe SolarWinds is a good place for you. At least then all the narcissists are in the same place. This company is a blight on humanity. Secure by design is a joke. Even after the worst hack in history that pointed to them, it took them four months to remove my access after I quit. I still have admin access to several key systems nearly a year later. If you work for or do business with SolarWinds, you are riding a ticking time bomb.
