Pros

Great opportunity. SolarWinds is the industry leader in full-stack IT observability. Most customers you speak with have been using SolarWinds for 5-10+ years, which proves the value of the solutions. Customers have constant needs to add on to their environment if their company is growing.

Cons

compensation structure could be more competitive with the industry standards

Pros

Many of the people below management level are kind, helpful and supportive. Otherwise, the main advantage to working at SolarWinds is that the bar is set incredibly low for all future workplaces.

Cons

While it is easy to say that all negative Glassdoor reviews are nothing more than disgruntled workers, SolarWinds should be paying more notice to them should they ever want their rates of churn to ever improve. The company likes to label their own brand of chaotic mismanagement as being “fast - paced”, in what could only be described as a self - congratulatory way of management excusing their behaviour. There’s fast - paced, and then there’s whatever SolarWinds is. The rates of gaslighting and toxicity are unparalleled from normal working environments, and the offices they’re forcing staff to go into are grim, dark and outdated. It’s ironic that SolarWinds extends their CARE values to everyone except their staff, who they quite simply don’t trust or remotely CARE about.
