      Pros

      SolarWinds has a huge customer base-great opportunity to learn and build relationships in the industry. Performance is rewarded. The culture is what you make it - if you stick around positive people and be a positive influence on others around you, it’s a really fulfilling place to work.

      Cons

      Fast-paced environment can be a struggle for some. Frequent changes - if you aren’t adaptable, it might not be for you.

      Constant chaos

      Pros

      During the time it was public there were stock grants. Was able to hire a lot of people I've worked with over the years, and grow an amazing team at one point.

      Cons

      Meritocracy is a dirty word, to advance at solarwinds you need to have been there "from the beginning" or to kiss rear. After going private there was an overall feeling of not needing to be held accountable anymore... Bonuses have steadily decreased or been eliminated, benefits costs are high, salaries are left off.

      Join Solarwinds IT department at your own peril

      Pros

      Free lunch 3x a week, though the catering companies chosen have become less appealing during the last 12-18 months

      Cons

      Upper management of the IT department doesn't trust any of the engineers and practices extreme micro management. Only those who are good at kissing-butt and sucking up to upper management are able to be promoted to positions of leadership. Middle management caused an extremely toxic environment and was the primary reason the Systems team lost 3/4 of its personnel in less than 3 months and replaced them with much less experience personnel and a much lower pay rate. Broken promises!!!
