Pros

The company has good people on the front line - many that have been there for years

Cons

SolarWinds got a new CEO in December and a new CPO in March. For a company that is already challenged with a security breach in December and a declining customer base, things went south very quickly with the new CPO. It became a very dysfunctional organization and hard to feel like I could grow and thrive there. We have been churning employees ever since and it feels like a sinking ship. I am glad I chose to leave. I am so much happier in my new job. I cant believe how badly I felt while I was there and how much different I feel now that I work in an organization that cares about its employees.

Pros

Good benefits package, lunch twice a week in the office, overall most of the reps are really cool people.

Cons

You will be micromanaged. There's no way around it. You will be pestered about one thing from your manager then will be pestered again about another action item you were trying to complete before they reached out to you. Your goals mean nothing to upper management. You can tell them what you want to accomplish within the company, and want does/does not work for you but it won't matter. Also, countless shady acts committed from sales managers that were constantly overlooked by directors even when reported to HR multiple times.
