SolarWinds reviews

Constant acquisitions and whole teams leaving often. Chaotic interoffice fights and egos.

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Don't be fooled - SolarWinds is a SALES organization, and nothing else. If you're here to do technology, or marketing, or something that supports the sales of the software, be prepared to just suck it up on a daily basis and "git er done". And because of that, there are no rules when it comes to getting work done. There is no training. It's pretty much get thrown in the deep end after a baptismal by fire. If you make it then you can stay. And they don't give a crap if you don't. Upper mgmt > veep level heavy. Suits: individual contributors is almost 1:1. And they are very controlling to the point of micromanagement. And if you have any desire to move up or make your mark, forget it. They will either choke you out, or load you up until you bail. There is no moving up there. There is no collaboration. There are no open ears to your ideas. Be prepared to put in a lot of hours. There is no work/life balance. If you have a family and want to see them, don't even bother interviewing. The CEO's favorite phrase is something like, "If you are uncomfortable with chaos then you don't belong here."
