Pros

I've been with the company for over 4 years now and can genuinely say it's the best place I've ever worked. I've been given lots of opportunities to grow and develop my own career. The company are fantastic at giving employees scope to further their careers and I've seen countless examples of internal promotions. I'd also like to point out that I think the way the company has responded to the covid-19 crisis has been quick and efficient. Offices were closed quickly as soon as the situation in each location warranted it and messages from the business have been clear. The CEO has been doing regular video updates which have been reassuring and overall the mood within the company remains positive.

Cons

SolarWinds can be very fast paced. For me this isn't a con and I think this type of environment suits me but I agree that for some it might be.

Pros

Amazing office space in Charlotte with a strong emphasis on work-life balance. There are plenty of social events and networking opportunities that help employees stay engaged and build relationships across different business units. The recent IT reorganization has created a unique opportunity to participate in system and process design initiatives. While this level of change and transformation may not appeal to everyone, it offers valuable experience for those who enjoy shaping new processes and driving organizational improvements. I am optimistic about the direction of the organization and confident in the vision and leadership of the new IT management team.

Cons

Career advancement opportunities can sometimes feel limited within a satellite office environment, and promotion paths are not always clearly defined. Employees seeking long-term growth may benefit from having proactive career development conversations with leadership. The recent IT reorganization has introduced a period of transition, resulting in some uncertainty and lower morale across parts of the organization. The department is currently in a rebuilding phase, and new employees should expect to contribute to the implementation of new processes, systems, and ways of working. Compensation appears to be somewhat below market rates for certain roles, which may be a consideration for candidates prioritizing salary growth.
