      Pros

      - high concentration of very smart and friendly people - nice benefits - they are open to new technologies and try to refresh products regularly - not a "corporate" feeling, friendly atmosphere

      Cons

      There is one BIG con which kind of affects everything - LACK OF MANAGEMENT and basically a CHAOS. Personally, I don't like changes that came to SolarWinds with new management (since 2021). To be fair, new CEO, Sudhakar is a light of hope but everyone else ... I don't know. I think generally employees don't trust them.

      Chaos and pigeon-holing

      Pros

      Solarwinds is essentially a no-kill shelter. They will not fire you, even if you don't show up for days at a time. New CEO seems like he's on a better track than the nightmare of KBT.

      Cons

      Before the breach, we were making some slow-but-steady progress towards newer tech. After the breach, it has been mind-numbing security theater. Management no longer trusts their teams and has reverted to micromanagement. Absolute nightmare. Pay was about 30% below market with no intention of fixing it. Employee morale is in the dumps. Can't hire anyone for backfill because the salary isn't competitive. Only stayed on because it was a steady paycheck during a pandemic. Old CEO would send out proselytizing emails around every Christian holiday. Not a good look for a diverse global company.
