Pros

They make promises to the employees to get what they need and then they act like you're out of your mind when you inquire on the delivery of the promise. ITS NOTHING BUT A SWEAT SHOP ; IF YOU HAVE TIME TO WASTE WORKING YOUR BUTT OFF FOR BELOW STANDARD WAGES, ENJOY BEING TREATED LIKE CRAP AND LIED TO............. BY ALL MEANS COME WORK AT SOLARWINDS because they will promise to deliver just that!

Cons

My best advise to those looking at working for this company is to do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. Management doesn't care about you or your family; they want to use and abuse you and then throw you to the curb. They don't care how much hard work you have done for them, nor do they care how many countless weekends you gave up during acquisitions. When they're done with you, they will go out of their way to make you miserable so that you or they find a reason to fire you. They want loyalty, but never give it in return.

Pros

They feed us food twice a week. It's indoors as we are in a hot climate. Gym access if you are so inclined.

Cons

Power went out today and we got this email from the CEO shortly after. "All Internet is working and phones are working. Power should be back on in 45 minutes or less. Everyone should get back to their desks and go to work!" Funny, I didn't see him roaming the halls to see who wasn't at their desks...

Successful company but poor management structure

Pros

-Great benefits -Young and friendly coworkers -Catered lunches twice a week

Cons

-Poor management- management is verbally abusive and tends to focus only on the negative and what you're doing wrong, and fail to provide recognition for your achievements. Also, they were reluctant to let me transfer to any other department because then they'd have to re-hire (i.e. more work for them). -Ineffective/complacent HR- When my co-workers and I approached HR about it, they didn't do anything about it (even though we brought forth a myriad of evidence.)
