Pros

Solarwinds has a great facility in a very accessible location

Cons

The culture is poor and model doesn't support career growth. The top 10% of reps make all the money and everyone else is lucky to survive.

Pros

People. The sales engineers are amazing

Cons

Working for a two manager division of crooked people is interesting. One of them was praised to be a top performer. But she achieved this by stealing accounts from someone else to get her to the one million number in the fiscal and putting her face on the wall. Her manager whom she’s close with approved all of this unethical behavior. When their unethical behavior was brought up to their attention they did everything to fire the girl that file the complaint. They are unethical and having them pair up they just cover their tracks everytime. There’s a lot those two did and are doing that is unethical, illegal and toxic. This company does not operate ethically and they kept other people who are not minorities and did fake dials to pizza places to meet their dialing goal. Which should call for an hr action. They did not care cause they belonged to the non minority class like them.

Pros

Salary, some corporate perks (mostly food, HH). A couple of nice colleagues.

Cons

Oh boy, where do I start? No marketing best practices in place. Zero customer centric messaging. SW's marketing strategy relies on spamming customers with emails, siloed and disparate activities, and attending irrelevant events. Bunch of people faking it and barely making it. It's painful to witness the lack of experience. Management (old and new) is not genuinely interested in listening to employees' advice. Despite various attempts to change the culture, marketing teams remain siloed."
