Pros

Leadership, management, and teammates have all been very welcoming from the start Nice health benefits Opportunity to network with and collaborate with team members across the globe Competitive payrate Occasional company-provided luncheons and snacks, drinks on site to keep you going throughout the day Very flexible PTO Flexible with WFH /Remote policy

Cons

I honestly cannot think of any cons. I have held several IT positions now at several different large corporate companies and Solarwinds is by far the most comfortable.

Pros

--Great starter job for experience/career building --Personal life flexibility. Company is understanding of the Pandemic and is supportive of personal issues outside of work. --Possible Hybrid (Upon returning to the office) --Giving Free mental days (Periodically)

Cons

--Micro Managing at its best!!! -- (Forget the free lunches) Judging by the Glassdoor reports--Some employees are still receiving the perks. Used to receive free lunch. Now we have to attend a virtual lunch meeting and buy our own lunch and sit in front of a camera while management lunch was probably paid for on the company credit card. Every supervisor has a corporate card. Use it! --Indefinite work from home is not an option. --Collections team bring in lot of the companies money and is the most forgotten. (No incentives) --Low pay --FTO offered to salary employees only. If you are hourly, you can forget it. --Promotions are not fairly given. Management or your superior should speak on it if you deserve it but good luck with that. --No more Christmas Party, Company outing in the parking lot. Understood it is a pandemic, however, find a way to compensate your employees other wise. Especially for the ones who are most forgotten.....Collections --Health insurance is not the worst but the deductible is high for individuals with no major health issues. Therefore, when you go to the doctor you will have a bill b/c you never met the deducible.
