SolarWinds Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"You own your career, keep the conversation on track."

"I've worked for SolarWinds for 5 years. They have great engineering team. Company culture is on best possible level. But most valuable is fact, they give chance everyone show his/her ideas."

"I've worked at SolarWinds for a decade. I've found it to be a successful company, but opportunities tend to come and go quite frequently."

"Solarwinds provides an opportunity for Software salespeople to gain a tremmendous amount of experience selling into IT, and sharpening their skills."

"People are great but the expectations needed to fulfill your job are somewhat unattainable. No customer focus vision. Constantly barrage customers to buy today. No finesse to qualify the product."

"Great Place to work! a little too much pressure on the ISRs to sell on a fast pace, but overall a great place to work."

"I love working for my current employer."

"Great company and great software. One of the worst managers I have ever worked for or with. The manager of the collections/accounts receivable department in Austin is so out dated, it brings me back to the year 1992, micro management to the highest level. I would recommend a different department."

"I have worked for SolarWinds for over 3 years. SolarWinds is a publicly-traded company that offers many different IT infrastructure management software solutions and employees around 1,500 employees. The company offers over 40 distinct and complex products that help IT professionals better monitor and manage their IT environments. The company continues to acquire other software companies to add to its ever-growing catalog of on-prem, managed and SaaS-based offers."

"The Fish rots from the Head! Pros: Some of the smartest people work in the Boulder office, the first floor rules! Cons: During the time I worked for Solarwinds, I was ridiculed, degraded, bullied and manipulated by the Corporate Services Department in the Austin office; HR and my manager was very much aware and DID NOTHING! I was not the only person whom was treated with such disdain; the CEO was also very much aware and did nothing! (My manager actually told me to let the bullying continue, if I didn’t I may not have a job.) The executive staff thrives, values and applauds this kind of behavior; it absolutely comes from the top! Extreme blatant favoritism and severe hypocritical attitudes are monumental issues within the company. Unethical, wrongful and actionable behavior is prevalent and creates a hostile work environment; this absolutely comes from the top! Advice to Management: “Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don't want to.”"

"There is a culture of distrust at SolarWinds. I worked at SolarWinds for more than a year. Pros - Covered parking, nice view, handy stairs. Cons - Industrial Revolution management style, seriously abusive micro-managers, deceitful with bonuses, revolving door. Real old school beat down. Six vice presidents, four directors, and four managers recently left the company."

"I worked at Solarwinds for nearly a year. As far as the actual job description, I excelled at my numbers, I was an all-star representative for the SYSMAN field, and I loved the high energy fast paced environment this was. The software itself was AWESOME and one of the top softwares out there for the System Administrative roles. The reason why I left Solarwinds for Spiceworks is plain and simple: I hated the culture. It was so negative, managers would walk by and kick your desk asking you what you booked. I would go home stressed and afraid of losing my job daily. Not good! I highly favor working for a company that is encouraging and FRIENDLY! A company that loves hitting goals and loves exceeding them!"

"The company has high rotation, and don't see anything wrong about it. The Marion focus is Sales and everything else is just cost. If you are a developer focused on technology this is not the place to be."

"It's a wondeful company top to bottom. The job I have just doesn't happen to be the job I want."

What do you like about working at SolarWinds?

"The atmosphere, the vibe. It's got a corporate culture very reminiscent of the dot-coms of the late 90's"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Know your stuff. This company is filled to the brim with very knowledgeable people. Techies are everywhere. Don't go in there with a paper cert and think you won't get grilled in a technical interview."

What don't you like about working at SolarWinds?

"The job I'm doing just isn't really in my wheelhouse. Advancement opportunities are slim in the department I'm in."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Management does fine. Though I think the support department needs a formal training regimen as opposed to trial by fire."
