Pros

I have worked in SolarWinds previously, and came back after 4 years. Lot has changed in the meantime, it feels the company has plans again and some long term goals. We have great perks like lunch on wednesdays, quite big budget for learning, constant integration events, a 3D Printer that anyone can use for free in the office. Great work-life balance and culture, it really feels like a company where you are taken care of.

Cons

Some people are not the most competent in upper management and setting business goals for products.
