Pros
I believe the best rewards are the ones you’ve worked hard to earn. That’s SolarWinds in a nutshell. Hard work, but great rewards. - Bright, hard-working co-workers. At many places, I’ve had to work with an underperforming team member. You end up doing much of their work and your own. Under performers are not tolerated here. I personally find that to be a relief, but it does make for a different culture. - Interesting work. It is fun to see your work ship and customers use it. - Good compensation, including 401k matching - Opportunities for career growth. I started as worker bee and I progressed through senior and lead positions. I am now in management.
Cons
- Need to be firm on work/life boundaries - Not having the time to excel on projects
