Pros

Get a regular monthly paycheque

Cons

As employees from Pulse-secure fade and a group from Polycom takes over the product organization, the newly minted leaders who have yet to accomplish deliverables in the last two years take over the reins. The amount of nepotism keeps breaking levels never seen before. The preference for favorite individuals has led to a significant imbalance within the organization. We are inundated with excessive presentations and strategies, which have yet to transform into anything meaningful. Negligible customers, insignificant revenue. During meetings in the past, we have discussed the market worth $xxx million for some of the businesses which Solarwinds can capture. Why don’t we share concrete progress regarding $$’s numbers we made in these markets for this quarter, or tell us how many customers have started using the much talked about AIOPS feature ?

Pros

this is history now. this is history now.

Cons

top leaders are suddenly leaving .we were counting on them first when they joined, now they are fired! We need to fix the root of the problem, to be honest it is not in the roots but on the head. There is no one to blame here on the CEO as simple as that. May be he is nice here, and he has CARE there, unfortunately this doesn’t work.

A Recipe for Disaster!

Pros

Apart from my colleagues who worked for years nothing is great.

Cons

In a company plagued by disastrous leadership throughout its departments, including the unsettling scenario of the HR department posting negative reviews on Glassdoor about the company itself, what would the average employee have to say about this dire situation? To compound matters, the newly appointed CEO and their associates are systematically pushing out old and professional solarians. This includes fostering a more toxic work environment and even openly encouraging people to leave, all in the quest to bring in cheaper labor from elsewhere.
