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.
