Pros

Very interesting business model: highly transactional and web-based. Profitable company that pays well (base, bonus and stock). Nice perks.

Cons

NYSE company run like family business. CEO involved in every decision. Limited vision and strong belief that there is only one way, the SolarWinds way. Only employee motivator is money. High turnaround in most departments.
