Managerial Catastrophe: EMEA Office in Chaos.

Sales

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

As I said in the title so don’t expect to see something good here.

Cons

I'm not sure where to begin, perhaps by raising the quota by four times so that everyone in the workplace works for no pay and bosses are unaffected. Or from the worst vice presidents of sales I have ever witnessed. We live in a company within a corporation, guys. Even though they had better knowledge and skills, CEO friends and senior solarian were treated horribly and forced to resign, only to be replaced by any low-wage labor.

Worst Sales Job in Cork, BY A MILE!!!!!

Inside sales representative

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are NONE!! If you want to call some dogs dinner on a Wednesday (Free lunch) a pro then be my guest, but I wont. Biggest pro of all, is there is other BETTER jobs out there that pay more & treat you a billion times better. **IF YOU ARE READING THIS & ABOUT TO ACCEPT A JOB OFFER FROM SOLARWINDS, DONT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**

Cons

Management are brutal Directors are Brutal Micromanagement Unrealistic Targets No time off Made to feel like a piece of meat. Biggest Con of all, is knowing some other poor man/woman will be sold a dream in this dump & they will have to figure out quite quickly that what they have been told is all lies.

Pros

I think every positive review in glassdoor for SolarWinds is misleading.

Cons

The company has huge management crises no brain can imagine. unprofessional toxic leaders from Pulse Secure, on top of that full of nepotism, vague relationship. And more worse.
