Excellent job if you can handle the pressure.

Pros
- Company culture is accommodating. Significantly more diverse than other sales jobs. There's still some bro culture if you want that but you can still be a top SDR and rep if you're not into the Type-A hypermasculine sales rep. - Great pay for an SDR if you can hit your numbers. Well above median wage for this country. - You get significantly more responsibility as an SDR than most of them do. You're expected to eventually do your own prospecting (rather than just given a list) and do your own demos. - Wide variety of well-respected products makes getting a meeting easier than other companies.
Cons
- Quota for SDR is higher than for other SDR roles of companies of similar sizes. It's definitely achievable. - Solarwinds does have a reputation in the IT world for being pushy, so you'll sometimes encounter hostility. This can be reduced if you just stick to your ideal customer profile rather than calling everyone. - Very high turnover in leadership and coworkers. This creates opportunities within the companies but entire time here has been chaos.

Pros
Very competitive salary and good benefits including plenty of PTO, free lunches and snacks, 401k, etc. Big, well-known company that can look good on a resume. Plenty of work to do, you will never sit around with nothing to do. At the individual contributor level, there are great people and supportive coworkers.
Cons
Very high-stakes, fast-moving, competitive, stressful environment to work in (no matter which department/role you are in). Upper management (Senior Directors and higher) do not have good management skills, don't treat employees like humans, simply care about work output. There's not much room for growth, many people are stuck in their position for years at the company with no upward mobility.
