Pros

Met some great people. Lunch catered once a week

Cons

- Management haven't a clue - most have never managed before and try to enforce a "model" that is not a model at all, it is just harassment! Thats what Solarwinds want you to do, constantly bombard people with calls and mails until they purchase the product! Morale is non existent - most staff have had enough of the threats sent out via mail and face to face. This is the reality. You don't hit target, you are fired! Politics - in every workplace, but Solarwinds take this to another level. Management have their favorites, and at times you have to wonder how these people are still working there...It's because all these favorites get the best leads. Dont dare call them out on this, because as you guessed.....you WILL be fired! You are not a person when you work here, you are just a number - do not get comfortable, do not look at this as a career move! If you want to make good money, in a short period of time, by all means work here - but be prepared for the harassment, threats and crap that comes along with it!

Pros

Made some friends among the rank and file. Money was excellent due to good negotiations during th acquisition. My particular boss is an awesome guy.

Cons

Penny wise pound foolish - when we were bought they took all of my test equipment and re-purposed it for other teams, leaving me high and dry. IT didn't get it. The company makes untold millions, it can afford a few Dell's. Very heirarchical, down to ensuring people have exactly the right size office according to their title. A "bums on seats" mentality where all people are considered equivalent and disposable, and every job can be moved to India. I was fired over health reasons, rather than offered the time off during a hospital stay and recovery. The day before bonuses were due to pay out.
