      Pros

      Great and very smart people! Company is very team-oriented - people work together to accomplish goals and support each other. Lots of opportunity for growth. Company is great for graduate students and also amazing place for senior and experience people. Benefits are good.

      Cons

      I don't have any complaints; After 3 years I'm still happy with my carrer at SolarWinds, still look forward to getting up and going to work every morning, but that's the benefit of flexible working hours :)

      The job itself can be great at times but senior management are like wild animals

      Inside sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Lots of bonuses - The pressure makes you bond with Colleagues and there are some really fantastic people in the office - Ability to earn far more than OTE - IF you are liked enough by senior management or they want to hold you up as a good example of "the model in motion"

      Cons

      - Bullying, belittling, badgering senior Management who believe man management means threatening staff with the sack. - Attitude comes from the very top down so not going to change while C levels remain - Office atmosphere is toxic to say the least when things are not going well. God forbid a senior manager might be on the verge of losing a bonus! Heaven forfend a zero goes missing in their salary! If a senior manager is not getting paid well, they will take their pound of flesh from the poor saps not hitting target - which will typically be the newer people. - No training. And I do mean ZERO training. "Here is your laptop and your phone, why have you not hit your target yet?!" - Creates a real "Sink or swim (by pushing others below you and stepping on them)" attitude in some people and is actively encouraged, even rewarded. - Senior management can do no wrong. Untouchables. No accountability. - The thought process is - if it works in the US, it will work worldwide. I don't even know where to begin with this one.
