SolarWinds Reviews

Pros

Best company I have ever worked in

Cons

No cons working here at all

Pros

- Free lunch. Every week. And always the same menu.

Cons

Cork Office is a cesspit of Local Boys or the well known Old Boys Network. Members of this 'Happy Family' promote each other and if you are not part of this happy family forget to be promoted or have a raise. You will never be recognized even if you work 10 times harder than any one else. Forget a career here, redundancies are lurking behind the corner. The CEO is a corrupt man, bringing his friends from his previous company (oh they didn't get redundancies, what a miracle! I wonder if they passed the regular HR hire process too). Customers are moving on to other products since the hack from Russia. SW is in decline and not only morally. The executive team are cashing in their millions in on their shares before moving on to the next company, while hundreds of people don't know if they can pay the rent or mortgage in the next months due redundancies.

Pros

Some good people to work with on different projects

Cons

Upper management has a lot of ego and likes to play politics. Feedback is not transparent and is heavily influenced by perception

Pros

They are giving more time off

Cons

The senior leadership is woeful. Lack of direction, or any ideas where to go next..

Pros

Great Team with an amazing manager who helps with day to day improvement. Management are supportive and challenging. Great financial incentives. Great culture Career prospects look promising and conversations about next steps and where we are going is clear and happen on regular bases. Hands down the best company I have worked for in a long time.

Cons

Honestly no Cons Its the most content I have been in a position in my 16 years of working.

Pros

Good Technology - a known brand globally. Some of the people there are nice and I make some friends

Cons

Very mean when it comes to money and rewarding their staff. Sent a selection box and a solarwinds t-shirt for a christmas present, yet staff worked from home without a single 'care' package all year. Management changes every quarter it seems and company direction is all over the place. New CEO has brought all his own people from Pulse Secure and all new hires in management are from their - turning into a job for the boys club - all male hires also. Targets change at the drop of a hat and if you are successful you are punished to keep you down. Metrics are the only thing that matter - i.e. calls/emails etc. and a lot of the Sales managers are Sales Admin and not actual what you'd call a Sales Leader - very uninspiring. Bad reputation with channel partners due to Solarwinds stealing deals of channel at last minute in the past, just to get deal

Pros

Amazing collaborative team Exposure to various stakeholders within the business

Cons

No cons for me here

Pros

The company genuinely looks after you and your needs. The work is enjoyable once you get your foot in.

Cons

The communication sometimes gets unclear. There could be times where you would feel a bit lost or overwhelmed.

Cons

Private Club for the CEO and his friends from the old company. the company is bleeding talents from the day one 1 they took over.

Cons

Slow and limited salary progression
