      Great for the newbie seeking experience but extreme caution for those who have experience.

      Pros

      - Lunch 2x week brought in (but they're skimping as of late) - Nimble, quick, organization that's growing fast - CEO is energetic - The software sells itself so newbies can get experience and confidence - Product and Marketing Teams support sales like no other company

      Cons

      - Sales Management is horrible - Don't take vacation it will only mean certain doom for your deals that are outstanding - Little to no advancement outside of sales - One word describes the sales floor - cannibalistic - There is no Channel mentality but rather go direct and go now - The sales playbook - discount. call/e-mail clients till they sub-come to the pressure and buy - In regards to salary - max payout is $110k with bonus; it's the target that they've set and outside of that and you become a target or your goal is raised to bring it back in line

      White-collar sweatshop

      Pros

      Location was good for me. Fast-growing and well regarded by analysts. Rapid company growth can create advancement opportunities if you're politically savvy.

      Cons

      Lots of employee churn - people were out the minute they vested. No loyalty. Low-skilled, transactional sales team. Heavy workload, little recognition. Most managers were not good people managers. Bringing in a large number of managers from Dell, who seem intent on making SolarWinds an even gloomier version of Dell.

      Pros

      CEO et al are trying their best to keep/improve things since KBT bailed post-breach

      Cons

      All the work seems to be done by the same 5 folks
