Pros

1. Strong focus on innovation: The company is constantly pushing boundaries in network monitoring and management. 2. Customer-centric approach: SolarWinds truly values customer feedback and incorporates it into product development. 3. Collaborative work environment: Cross-functional teams work well together, fostering creativity and problem-solving. 4. Robust on-premises solutions: HCO product is a market leader in its category. 5. New leadership with vision: The recent changes in upper management have brought fresh perspectives and a clear direction for the future. I'm particularly excited about our new leadership team. They've brought in a great vision for building a cutting-edge SaaS platform that will complement our existing on-premises solutions. This strategic move aims to modernize our offerings while maintaining the robustness and reliability our customers have come to expect. The leadership is also focused on elevating our current on-premises solutions to the next level. They understand the importance of supporting our existing customer base while also pushing forward with new technologies. This balanced approach shows a deep understanding of market needs and a commitment to long-term success. Overall, while we face challenges typical of a company in transition, the future looks bright. The combination of our strong existing products, the move towards SaaS, and the visionary new leadership puts SolarWinds in a prime position to continue leading in the network management space.

Cons

1. Legacy systems: Some older infrastructure can slow down development cycles. 2. Transition challenges: Moving from on-premises to SaaS solutions presents its own set of hurdles. 3. Competitive market: The monitoring and observability space is crowded, requiring constant innovation to stay ahead.

Pros

I have worked in SolarWinds previously, and came back after 4 years. Lot has changed in the meantime, it feels the company has plans again and some long term goals. We have great perks like lunch on wednesdays, quite big budget for learning, constant integration events, a 3D Printer that anyone can use for free in the office. Great work-life balance and culture, it really feels like a company where you are taken care of.

Cons

Some people are not the most competent in upper management and setting business goals for products.

Pros

Coworkers are really nice and there are snacks

Cons

Turn river put a death sentence on this company when they bought us. Welcome to the world of price gouging. Upper management and corporate are blind with dollar signs and don't give a crap about the customer. I give it 3-5 years before SolarWinds is irrelevant after Turn River milks them dry and spits them out

Pros

Pretty standard corporate company. Good benefits, nice office.

Cons

Normal stuff that is a con of working a desk job. Upper management making bad decisions, a lot of turnover without backfilling. Definitely not the worst though.
