Pros

Currently working less than a year but Solarwinds doesn't seems as bad as I read in here and definitely not a 2+ score. Product portfolio is mature and there are some new promising categories like OTel, SaaS solutions, etc. So from tech perspective there is a room to grow. Salary and other benefits like stocks are good but not perfect.

Cons

It seems that the company is quite limited with budgets for almost everything, easy expenses are approved by VPs, some business process are also not very well defined. For now it is all I can find
