Pros

If you are looking for a place to make a name for yourself, progress your career and reap substantial bonuses in the meantime then Solarwinds will give you this opportunity. There is UN-doubtable a buzz here that is lacking in most businesses these days and a belief that this company is going to reach the billion sooner rather then later.

Cons

Missing targets sucks but more often then not EVERYONE in the company will bend over backwards to help you out to ensure you hit 100%+
