Pros

If you are looking for a place to make a name for yourself, progress your career and reap substantial bonuses in the meantime then Solarwinds will give you this opportunity. There is UN-doubtable a buzz here that is lacking in most businesses these days and a belief that this company is going to reach the billion sooner rather then later.

Cons

Missing targets sucks but more often then not EVERYONE in the company will bend over backwards to help you out to ensure you hit 100%+

The Worse Working Experience In My Career

Pros

- Challenging for those who like a good challenge (like me) - Pay is decent and bonuses can be good - Execution is a good thing

Cons

- Does not value their employees at all - You can give 100% and that still won't be good enough - No work/life balance - Executive management is bunch of male misogynists who tout themselves as devout christians (laughable) - A culture that will suck the life out of you - A "conservative" company that belongs back in Oklahoma. Hey, this is Austin let's care about our people, environment, doing volunteer work and the greater good...not just the bottom line

Pros

good products, good location, benefits like providing coffee or water and soft drinks and free gym (but these benefits are provided by many other companies as well)

Cons

no time given to build a proper pipeline, Lead distribution not equal, targets are not calculated individually by using the employees pipeline and opportunities (you just get one) and they are nearly unreachable, there is NO guaranteed commission for the first months when you start and you have to build a pipeline, poor office equipment (small desks, mostly no natural light, no containers, bad air), bad posisioned desks under air condition causes sickness of employees, calling out closed opportunities (and comments afterward by management) will give new hires a bad feeling - not good for motivation, management expects you to do all necessary training after work at home, no trust into employees
