Compensation is Falling Behind

Pros

Great technology, twice weekly catered lunches.

Cons

Only 80% coverage on Prescriptions. Salaries are falling behind the market. Bonuses have been limited even though we are making a profit, no replacement for RSU when we were public. C level management needs a refresh, with new ideas. Sales needs to work on their customer reputation (the only reason they make the sales they do is the products, most techs know to avoid the free tools due to the overbearing sales pitch). We are losing a lot of senior staff to better paying companies.

Pros

I have learned a lot from this role, but only because I have had great teammates.

Cons

The training the company provides is poor. Too much work for the representatives to provide the quality experience expected. Lots of Micro Managment.

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.
