      Pros

      * Large, stable company with high growth * Excellent and inexpensive health insurance, strong 401k matching, etc * Free lunches twice a week * Cool and modern office space with lots of natural light * Smart and fun group of coworkers * Strong products and loyal customers across global footprint * Performance focus creates strong growth opportunities for those willing to work hard (see other negative reviews for those who aren't) * Transparent and honest management that don't try to sugarcoat things

      Cons

      * Fast pace doesn't fit some - this isn't a bank moving like a glacier - SolarWinds moves quickly * Definitely a few growing pains along the way as the company reaches significant market size * Communication between departments can be hit or miss at times depending upon how much is going on (see fast pace above)

      Culture and Management Needs Improvement

      Pros

      Very competitive salary and good benefits including plenty of PTO, free lunches and snacks, 401k, etc. Big, well-known company that can look good on a resume. Plenty of work to do, you will never sit around with nothing to do. At the individual contributor level, there are great people and supportive coworkers.

      Cons

      Very high-stakes, fast-moving, competitive, stressful environment to work in (no matter which department/role you are in). Upper management (Senior Directors and higher) do not have good management skills, don't treat employees like humans, simply care about work output. There's not much room for growth, many people are stuck in their position for years at the company with no upward mobility.
