Pros

The best part about working for Solarwinds Technical Support used to be the people.

Cons

It never seemed like replacing those who left was a priority. so this behavior lead to complete burn out for those who stayed.

Pros

The Demand Generation roles tend to have autonomy, with oversight mainly around budget and spend tracking. The tracking & reporting systems and processes were decent and allowed for program performance analysis. The Corp Comm team did a great job building brand awareness, which boosted paid media programs.

Cons

The turn over rate is REALLY HIGH. I had 16 bosses over 14 years. Despite consistently exceeding expectations and delivering positive program ROI year after year - I was only promoted once. SolarWinds is very much a Sales company and Marketing is viewed with some hostility. In addition, the quarterly goals were often relayed half way through the quarter and budgets were frequently revised.
